First government of Felipe González

The first government of Felipe González was formed on 3 December 1982, following the latter's election as prime minister of Spain by the Congress of Deputies on 1 December and his swearing-in on 2 December, as a result of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) emerging as the largest parliamentary force at the 1982 Spanish general election. It succeeded the Calvo-Sotelo government and was the government of Spain from 3 December 1982 to 26 July 1986, a total of days, or .

González's first cabinet marked several firsts in Spanish history: it was the first purely left-of-centre government in Spain under the monarchy in Spain, as well as the first one to be set up in peacetime period. It comprised members of the PSOE (including its sister party, the Socialists' Party of Catalonia (PSC), as well as one member from the Democratic Action Party (PAD), which had contested the 1982 election in alliance with the PSOE and would merge into it in January 1983) and one independent. It was automatically dismissed on 23 June 1986 as a consequence of the 1986 general election, but remained in acting capacity until the next government was sworn in.
