The Amin ministry was the second cabinet formed in the eastern province of Pakistan, East Bengal (later renamed East Pakistan). It was formed in 1948 under the leadership of Nurul Amin, following the appointment of chief minister Khawaja Nazimuddin as the Governor-General of Pakistan. The cabinet, led by Amin and affiliated with the Pakistan Muslim League (PML), lasted for nearly five years before being succeeded by the Third Huq ministry.
