The Cabinet of Zimbabwe is the executive body that forms the government of Zimbabwe together with the President of Zimbabwe. The Cabinet is composed of the President, the Vice-Presidents, and ministers appointed by the President. Until 1987, the Cabinet was chaired by the Prime Minister; it is now headed by the President.

On 30 November 2017, Emmerson Mnangagwa, who succeeded ousted President Robert Mugabe, formed a new cabinet.[1] On 3 December 2017, Mnangagwa replaced two of his ministers amidst criticism by opposition parties.[2] On 7 September 2018, President Mnangagwa appointed a new cabinet after winning 2018 presidential elections. The new 20-member cabinet, along with 13 deputy ministers and nine provincial ministers, was sworn in on 11 September 2018.[3]

Four members of the Cabinet of Zimbabwe died in the first two weeks of January 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic in Zimbabwe.[4]
