The cabinet ministers of Gabriel González Videla were the members of the executive branch appointed to lead Chile's ministries during his presidential administration (1946–1952).

His cabinets reflected the shifting political landscape of the early Cold War period in Chile, initially incorporating members of the Communist Party before its proscription under the 1948 Law for the Permanent Defense of Democracy.

Ministerial composition evolved in response to domestic polarization, economic stabilization efforts, and changing congressional alliances, resulting in significant reconfiguration across key portfolios throughout his term.
