The cabinet of Ola Ullsten was the cabinet and Government of Sweden from 18 October 1978 to 12 October 1979.
The cabinet was a single-party minority government consisting the Liberal People's Party. The cabinet was led by Prime Minister Ola Ullsten who was asked to form a minority government by the Speaker of the Riksdag after several failed attempts to form an active/inactive majority cabinet. This cabinet was the first cabinet consisting only the Liberal People's Party since 1932 and is also the only since then.
The cabinet resigned on 12 October 1979 following the 1979 general election to make way for a coalition majority government led by Thorbjörn Fälldin. The cabinet was succeeded by Thorbjörn Fälldin's Second Cabinet.
