The Taimur ministry was the state ministry of Assam headed by Chief Minister Anwara Taimur of the Indian National Congress (I) from 6 December 1980 until its resignation on 30 June 1981. The ministry was formed after the withdrawal of President's rule imposed in the state since 12 December 1979 in the aftermath of Assam agitation against illegal foreign nationals staying in Assam under the leadership of the All Assam Students' Union (AASU) and further involvement of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) which resulted in breakdown of law and order in the state and the resignation of Chief Minister Jogendra Nath Hazarika.^[1]^[2]

Anwara Taimur of the Indian National Congress (I) was elected the chief minister, thus becoming the first and only female and Muslim to serve as chief minister of Assam. She served in the position until her resignation on 30 June 1981 and the subsequent imposition of President's rule following intensification of the agitation against illegal foreign nationals.^[3]
