The 2022 Estonian government crisis was a political event in Estonia that occurred between May and July 2022. It includes the events that follow the introduction of a child benefits bill by the governing Centre Party with the support of the opposition Isamaa, Social Democrats and EKRE but without the support of the senior partner in the coalition, the Reform Party.

The crisis was exacerbated after the Centre Party MPs voted down the education reform bill that had been put forward by the incumbent government of the Reform and Centre parties. It resulted in Prime Minister Kaja Kallas having Centre Party ministers removed from office and running a government of only Reform Party ministers until the inauguration of Kaja Kallas' second cabinet a month later.
