The First Colijn cabinet was the cabinet of the Netherlands from 4 August 1925 until 8 March 1926. Prime Minister Colijn and his cabinet had tendered their resignations on 11 November but remained in a caretaker government until Dirk Jan De Geer formed a new government on 8 March. The cabinet was formed by the political parties General League of Roman Catholic Electoral Associations (AB), Anti-Revolutionary Party (ARP) and the Christian Historical Union (CHU) after the 1925 general election. The centre-right cabinet was a majority government in the House of Representatives. It was the first of five cabinets of Hendrikus Colijn, the Leader of the Anti-Revolutionary Party as Chairman of the Council of Ministers.
