The fifth government of Francisco Franco was formed on 25 February 1957. It succeeded the fourth Franco government and was the Government of Spain from 25 February 1957 to 11 July 1962, a total of 1,962 days, or 5 years, 4 months and 16 days.
Franco's fifth cabinet was made up of members from the different factions or "families" within the National Movement: mainly the FET y de las JONS party—the only legal political party during the Francoist regime—the military, the National Catholic Association of Propagandists (ACNP) and a number of aligned-nonpartisan figures from the civil service; however for the first time, the cabinet would see the incorporation of several technocratic ministers from the Opus Dei. The new government saw the establishment for the first time of a Ministry of Housing.
