The Government of Lithuania (Lithuanian: Lietuvos Vyriausybė), officially the Government of the Republic of Lithuania (Lietuvos Respublikos Vyriausybė, abbreviated LRV), is the cabinet of Lithuania, exercising executive power in the country. Among other responsibilities, it executes laws and resolutions of the parliament, the Seimas, and the decrees of the President, manages state property and, together with the president, executes the foreign policy of the country. The Government also has the right of legislative initiative, puts together the state budget and presents it to the Seimas for approval.

The Government consists of the prime minister, who is the head of government, and 14 government ministers.

The prime minister is appointed by the president, with the assent of the Seimas. The prime minister then forms the rest of the cabinet, with the assent of the president, and the Government and its programme are subject to approval by the Seimas.

The current Government started work in December 2020 and is headed by Ingrida Šimonytė as the prime minister. The government is based on a coalition of the Homeland Union-Lithuanian Christian Democrats (TS-LKD), Liberal Movement (LRLS), and Freedom Party (LP).
