The Borne government (French: gouvernement Borne) was the forty-third government of the French Fifth Republic, formed on 16 May 2022 and headed by Élisabeth Borne as Prime Minister under President Emmanuel Macron. It served as a caretaker government in early January 2024, before Gabriel Attal was appointed prime minister by Macron.

Despite its minority status as a result of the June 2022 legislative election, the Borne government had survived multiple votes of no confidence in the National Assembly: one in July 2022 after Macron's refusal to accept the government's resignation, three in October 2022 in response to the use of constitutional article 49.3 by the government to pass a social security bill, and two in March 2023, again in response of the use of article 49.3 to pass a pension reform bill.

The Borne government was reshuffled twice, first in July 2022, second in July 2023.

It was the first French government not to formally resign after a legislative election since Georges Clemenceau's second ministry in 1919.

Amid a major political crisis, the government was dissolved following Borne's resignation in January 2024 and was succeeded by the Attal government.
