The Markus Büchel Brunhart cabinet was the governing body of Liechtenstein from 26 May to 15 December 1993. It was appointed by Hans-Adam II and was chaired by Markus Büchel.

History The February 1993 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Progressive Citizens' Party.Dataset: Liechtenstein: Parliamentary Election 1993 - February European Election Database As a result, the Fourth Hans Brunhart cabinet was dissolved with Markus Büchel succeeding Hans Brunhart as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein. Cornelia Gassner became the first female government councillor in this cabinet.

During the government's term, Büchel co-signed the Constitution of the Princely House of Liechtenstein, though notably without consultation from the Landtag of Liechtenstein.

Shortly after its formation, Büchel became the subject of controversy due to him pushing through a government nomination despite the wishes of the FBP. On 14 September 1993, the Landtag of Liechtenstein passed a motion of no confidence against Büchel following a request by the party to do so. The following day, Hans-Adam II dismissed both the government and the Landtag and called for early elections, though notably against the wishes of the FBP. The subsequent October 1993 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Patriotic Union.Liechtenstein: Elections held in 1993 Inter-Parliamentary Union As a result, the cabinet was dissolved and Büchel was succeeded by Mario Frick as prime minister in the First Mario Frick cabinet.
