A '''civil servant''' or '''public servant''' is an [[employee]] who works in the civilian career [[public sector]] for a [[government]] [[Ministry (government department)|department]] or [[agency]]. Many consider the study of civil service to be a part of the field of [[public administration]]. Who is a civil servant and who is not is different in different countries.

Workers in non-departmental public bodies, (called [[Quango]]s in some countries) may also be called civil servants in context with [[statistics]]. All people that may be called civil servants together form a nation's '''Civil Service''' or '''Public Service'''.
