The Government of Maharashtra is the executive branch of the Indian state of Maharashtra. The government is led by the chief minister (currently Devendra Fadnavis since 5 December 2024) who selects the council of ministers and is appointed by the Governor of Maharashtra. The state has had a BJP-led government since 2024. The chief minister and his council of ministers form the cabinet of Maharashtra, which is responsible for overseeing the administration of the state, policy formulation, etc.

Ministers are responsible to the House in which they sit; they make statements in that House and take questions from members of that House. For most senior ministers, this is usually the directly elected Legislative Assembly rather than the indirectly elected Legislative Council. The government is dependent on the Legislature to make primary legislation, and general elections are held every five years (at most) to elect a new Legislative Assembly. After an election, the Governor selects as chief minister the leader of the party or alliance commanding the confidence of the Legislative Assembly, usually by possessing a majority of MLAs.

The cabinet expansion took place at Raj Bhavan in Nagpur on 15 December 2024. Maharashtra can have a maximum of 43 ministers. 33 were inducted as Cabinet ministers, 6 were sworn in as ministers of state. 19 ministers from the BJP, 11 from shiv Sena and 9 from the NCP took the oath as cabinet ministers.

Council portfolios are as follows
