The Bettel II government (also known as Bettel–Lenert-Bausch Government) was the government of Luxembourg from 2018 to 2023. It was led by Prime Minister Xavier Bettel and co-Deputy Prime Ministers Paulette Lenert and François Bausch. It was formed on 5 December 2018, after the 2018 election which saw all 60 seats in the Chamber of Deputies renewed.^[1][2] The government was a continuation of the traffic light coalition (or so-called Gambia coalition, in reference to the colours of the Gambia's flag) between the Democratic Party (DP), the Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party (LSAP) and The Greens from the First Bettel–Schneider Ministry, with minor changes.

In the 2023 election, the government gained 29 seats, losing its majority due to the electoral defeat of The Greens. On 9 October 2023, Bettel tendered his resignation to Grand Duke Henri, who the same day appointed CSV leader Luc Frieden to form a government, which took office on 17 November and in which Bettel became Deputy Prime Minister.
