The Bourgeois Government (Regering-Bourgeois) is the Flemish Government formed following the 2014 Flemish Parliament election. The cabinet consists of a centre-right coalition of the nationalist New Flemish Alliance (N-VA), the Christian Democratic and Flemish party (CD&V) and the Open Flemish Liberals and Democrats (Open Vld). It has a large majority in the Flemish Parliament and the main opposition parties are the Socialist Party (sp.a), which had been part of nearly all previous governments in recent history, and the Green party.

The Bourgeois Government consists of the following nine ministers:
