The fourth government of Francisco Franco was formed on 19 July 1951. It succeeded the third Franco government and was the Government of Spain from 19 July 1951 to 25 February 1957, a total of 2,048 days, or 5 years, 7 months and 6 days.
Franco's fourth 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. The new government saw the establishment of the Ministry of Information and Tourism.
