The Council of Ministers of Lebanon (Arabic: مجلس الوزراء اللبناني, romanized: Majlis al-wozarah al-Lubnanī) is the executive body of the Republic of Lebanon. Its president is the Prime Minister of Lebanon, and it is appointed by the President of Lebanon and the Prime Minister of Lebanon. The appointed government also has to pass a confidence vote in the Parliament of Lebanon. As stipulated in Article 95 of the Lebanese constitution,^[2] there are two requirements for the council of ministers to be considered constitutional:

1- It has to be composed of an equal number of Muslim and Christian ministers.

2- The different sects of Lebanon shall be represented in a just and equitable manner in the formation of the Cabinet.

The Council of Ministers is considered to be the "government" of Lebanon according to the Constitution.
