The second government of Mariano Rajoy was formed on 4 November 2016, following the latter's election as Prime Minister of Spain by the Congress of Deputies on 29 October and his swearing-in on 31 October, as a result of the People's Party (PP) emerging as the largest parliamentary force at the 2016 Spanish general election.[1][2][3] It succeeded the first Rajoy government and was the Government of Spain from 4 November 2016 to 7 June 2018, a total of 580 days, or 1 year, 7 months and 3 days.

The cabinet comprised members of the PP and a number of independents.[4][5] It was dismissed on 1 June 2018 when a motion of no confidence against Rajoy succeeded, but remained in acting capacity until Pedro Sánchez's government was sworn in.[6][7][8]
