The Government of Georgia (Georgian: საქართველოს მთავრობა, romanized: sakartvelos mtavroba) is the supreme body of executive power in Georgia that implements the domestic and foreign policies of the country. It consists of the prime minister—the head of the government—and ministers and is accountable and responsible to the Parliament of Georgia.[2] The current powers and responsibilities of the government are governed by the amendments of the Constitution of Georgia passed in 2017 and 2018.[3] From 14 May 1991 to 9 November 1996, the executive government of Georgia was referred to as the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Georgia (საქართველოს რესპუბლიკის მინისტრთა კაბინეტი).[4]

The incumbent government of Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze was sworn in on February 8, 2024.[5]
