The Nehammer government (German: Bundesregierung Nehammer) was sworn in as the 35th Government of Austria on 6 December 2021. It was headed by Chancellor Karl Nehammer.[1]

On 5 January 2025, after the end of negotiations with the SPÖ and NEOS, Nehammer resigned from his role as Chancellor of Austria and as leader of the Austrian People's Party. On the same day, the ÖVP appointed Christian Stocker as acting Party Leader, and on 10 January 2025, Alexander Schallenberg, the current Foreign Minister and former Chancellor, took over the provisional role of Chancellor until a government agreement between the FPÖ and the ÖVP can be reached.
