The Evika Siliņa cabinet (Latvian: Siliņas ministru kabinets) was the 42nd government of Latvia between 15 September 2023 and 28 May 2026, led by Evika Siliņa from New Unity as Prime Minister.
The government began as a coalition between New Unity, Union of Greens and Farmers, and The Progressives.
After the explosion on 7 May in Rēzekne caused by Ukrainian strayed drones targeting Russia, losing public trust at defense, Andris Sprūds from the Progressive Party resigned on 11 May. Losing the ruling majority, Siliņa stepped down after the Progressive Party withdrew their support for her government.
