The Fourth cabinet of Hermann Jónasson, nicknamed “The National Government” (), was a government of the independent state of Iceland, which seceded from Denmark with the Danish–Icelandic Act of Union, but was subordinate to the joint king of the Kingdom of Denmark and the Kingdom of Iceland, Christian X. It was formed on 18 November 1941 and replaced the Third cabinet of Hermann Jónasson. It remained in office until 16 May 1942, when it was replaced by the First cabinet of Ólafur Thors. The cabinet included members of the Progressive Party (Framsóknarflokkurinn), the Independence Party (Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn) and the Social Democratic Party of Iceland (Alþýðuflokkurinn).
