The Suhrawardy ministry, the fourth and last cabinet of Bengal Province in British India, formed on the eve of the partition of India. It was constituted in 1946 under the leadership of Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, the leader of the Bengal Provincial Muslim League (BPML) and the chief minister of Bengal, and lasted until 1947. Following the partition of Bengal, the ministry was succeeded by the First Ghosh ministry in the western part and the Second Nazimuddin ministry in the eastern part.
