The cabinet of Ola Ullsten (Swedish: Regeringen Ullsten) was the cabinet and Government of Sweden from 18 October 1978 to 12 October 1979.
The cabinet was a single-party minority government consisting of the Liberal People's Party. The cabinet was led by Prime Minister Ola Ullsten who was asked to form a minority government by the Speaker of the Riksdag after several failed attempts to form an active/inactive majority cabinet. The cabinet was the first cabinet consisting only of the Liberal People's Party since 1932 and is also the only one since then (as of August 2024[update]).
The cabinet resigned on 12 October 1979 following the 1979 general election to make way for a coalition majority government led by Thorbjörn Fälldin. The cabinet was succeeded by Thorbjörn Fälldin's Second Cabinet.
