The Attal government (French: gouvernement Attal) is the forty-fourth, and current caretaker, government of the French Fifth Republic, formed on 9 January 2024 and headed by Gabriel Attal as Prime Minister under the presidency of Emmanuel Macron.^[1]

The Attal cabinet is a three-party minority government as a result of the 2022 legislative election that left the governing coalition short of an absolute majority in Parliament. Following the second round of the legislative election, Attal announced his intent to submit his resignation to Macron on 8 July.^[2] However, the resignation was refused by Macron, who asked Attal to remain at least temporarily Prime Minister in order to help preserve stability.^[3][4] Attal's resignation was accepted on 16 July 2024. Despite this, Attal would stay on as head of a caretaker government.^[5][6]
