The Fourth Fares al-Khoury government was the fifty-third government in the history of modern Syria and the ninth administration of the Second Syrian Republic. Formed on 3 November 1954 following the 1954 Syrian parliamentary election, it was the tenth government to serve during the second presidency of Hashim al-Atassi and the fourth and final cabinet headed by Fares al-Khoury.
The government took office during a period of renewed parliamentary politics following the restoration of constitutional rule after the fall of the Adib Shishakli regime. Its tenure was marked by growing political competition and the increasing influence of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, which, together with allied political forces, emerged as a prominent opposition bloc.
Remaining in office for approximately six months, the government faced sustained criticism and parliamentary opposition from Ba'athist and pro-Ba'ath factions. Unable to maintain sufficient political support in the face of these challenges, the cabinet ultimately resigned, bringing an end to the final premiership of Fares al-Khoury.
