The First Said al-Ghazzi government was the fifty-second government in the history of modern Syria and the eight administration of the Second Syrian Republic. Formed on 19 June 1954, it was the ninth government to serve during the second presidency of Hashim al-Atassi and the first government headed by Said al-Ghazzi.
The government was established as a transitional administration following the restoration of constitutional rule after the fall of the Adib Shishakli regime. Its principal responsibility was to organise and supervise the 1954 Syrian parliamentary election, which was intended to re-establish representative government and restore the country's parliamentary institutions.
Having fulfilled its mandate by overseeing the elections, the government resigned shortly thereafter in accordance with established constitutional practice. Its tenure marked an important stage in Syria's return to parliamentary politics following a period of military rule.
