Mart Laar's second cabinet was a coalition government between the Pro Patria Union, Reform Party and Moderate People's Party in office in Estonia from 25 March 1999 to 28 January 2002, when it was succeeded by Siim Kallas' cabinet. This was the first Triple Alliance government in Estonian history and usually the standard bearer of the nickname.

By late 2001, scandals related to the privatization of state-owned enterprises had made the government unpopular, and relations between the Pro Patria Union and the Reform Party deteriorated. When December 2001 the Reform Party entered a coalition with the Centre Party in Tallinn, as a result of which Edgar Savisaar became the mayor, Prime Minister Mart Laar decided to resign, as he felt that the national level government had essentially collapsed.
