The First Ata Bey al-Ayyubi government was the nineteenth government in the history of modern Syria, serving from 23 February 1936 until 21 December 1936. Formed by decrees numbered 141 to 146 and published in the Official Gazette of the Syrian Republic, it was the fourth government of the First Syrian Republic and the fourth to serve under President Muhammad Ali al-Abid.
The government was established in the aftermath of the 1936 Syrian general strike and the widespread demonstrations that took place in early 1936 against French Mandate rule. It was conceived as a temporary and politically neutral administration tasked with overseeing parliamentary elections while the Syrian delegation negotiated a treaty with France in Paris. Following the delegation's successful conclusion of negotiations and its return to Syria in September 1936, parliamentary elections were held in November, and the newly elected Chamber of Deputies convened on 21 December 1936. The following day, President al-Abid resigned for health reasons, rendering the government constitutionally resigned and bringing its tenure to an end.
