The cabinet of Magdalena Andersson (regeringen Andersson) is the present Government of Sweden. It is a coalition, consisting of two parties: the Social Democrats and the Green Party. The cabinet was installed on 9 July 2021, during a formal government meeting with King Carl XVI Gustaf. The government is the result of the previous prime minister Stefan Löfven resigning from the chair of the Social Democratic Party in early November 2021.

With only 116 out of 349 seats (33%) in the Riksdag (Swedish parliament), the "red-green" coalition remains as one of the smallest minority governments in Swedish history, and it relies on support from other parties in the Riksdag.

Formation
On 7 July 2021, the Riksdag voted on Magdalena Andersson as Prime Minister. 116 voted yes, 60 abstained, and 173 opposed. Because of Sweden's "negative parliamentarism", this is understood as an approval as more MPs tolerated the proposal than not (176–173).

The government assumed office on 9 July 2021 after Prime Minister Andersson had first informed the Riksdag of her ministers and then during a formal government meeting, called a ’Konselj’, with HM King Carl XVI Gustaf.

Löfven's upcoming resignation
On 22 August 2021, Stefan Löfven announced his plans on resigning as party leader for the Social Democrats, and thereafter as Sweden's Prime Minister. According to the constitution, if the Prime Minister resigns, the whole cabinet also needs to resign and becomes automatically dismissed. He is expected to step down during his party's congress in November 2021. If this time plan becomes reality, the Löfven III Cabinet will mark the shortest time in office of any Swedish government since Ola Ullsten's Cabinet, in office from October 1978 to October 1979.

Ministers
Apart from the abolition of the post Minister for Rural Affairs, the new version of the cabinet was the same as the former Löfven III Cabinet.
