The Rees ministry is the 91st ministry of the Government of New South Wales, and was led by the 41st Premier Nathan Rees.
The Rees Labor ministry was formed following the resignation of Premier Morris Iemma on 5 September 2008 and the unanimous election of Rees as Leader of the Labor caucus and Carmel Tebbutt as Deputy Leader.
The ministry was sworn in on 8 September 2008 at Government House by the Lieutenant Governor, James Spigelman AC. A few days earlier, on 5 September, Rees and Tebbutt were sworn as Premier and Deputy Premier respectively by the Governor of New South Wales Professor Marie Bashir AC.
This ministry covers the period from 5 September 2008 until 4 December 2009, when Kristina Keneally succeeded Rees as Premier in a Labor caucus revolt.
