Second Nazimuddin ministry was the first cabinet formed in the eastern province of Pakistan, East Bengal (later renamed East Pakistan). It was formed in 1947 under the leadership of Khawaja Nazimuddin, the president of the Bengal Provincial Muslim League (BPML) and leader of the All-Pakistan Awami League (AIML). The cabinet lasted for about a year and was later replaced by the Amin ministry following the death of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, founding governor-general of Pakistan.
