The cabinet of Htin Kyaw, co-headed by President Htin Kyaw and State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, is the current government of Myanmar which took office on 30 March 2016 after the Myanmar general election, 2015. This election saw the opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) won a majority in both chambers of parliament.

NLD chairperson Aung San Suu Kyi had vowed to rule 'above' the President. The constitution barred Suu Kyi from the presidency, because her late husband and sons are not citizens of Myanmar.

Under the constitution, three ministers - of Border Affairs, Defence and Home Affairs - are appointed directly by the National Defence and Security Council. The remaining 15 ministers were appointed by Htin Kyaw and included a majority from the NLD, but also two members of the former ruling party, the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) and a number of independents.
