Hagstofa Íslands tók til starfa árið 1914. Til ársloka 2007 var hún eitt ráðuneyta í Stjórnarráði Íslands. Hagstofan hefur lengst af starfað samkvæmt stofnlögum sínum frá 1913 og lögum og reglugerð um Stjórnarráð Íslands. Hinn 1. janúar 2008 var Hagstofa Íslands lögð niður sem ráðuneyti. Þá tóku gildi ný lög um Hagstofu Íslands og opinbera hagskýrslugerð og komu þau að mestu í stað eldri löggjafar um starf Hagstofunnar. Samkvæmt þeim er Hagstofan sjálfstæð stofnun sem heyrir undir fjármála- og efnahagsráðherra. Í 1. gr. laganna segir að Hagstofan sé miðstöð opinberrar hagskýrslugerðar í landinu og hafi forystu um tilhögun, samræmingu og framkvæmd hennar svo og um samskipti við alþjóðastofnanir á þessu sviði.
