The First Cabinet of Cyril Ramaphosa was the cabinet of the government of South Africa between 27 February 2018 and 29 May 2019. It was formed by Ramaphosa after he won a midterm election to succeed Jacob Zuma as President of South Africa. It comprised 33 ministers and served until the 2019 general election.

During this first term, Ramaphosa did not make structural changes to the cabinet, with the sole exception of a merger between the Ministry of Communications and Ministry of Telecommunications and Postal Services. He effected a single cabinet reshuffle on 22 November 2018.
