The Segni I Cabinet was the 11th cabinet of the Italian government which held office from 6 July 1955 until 20 May 1957, for a total of 683 days, or 1 year, 10 months and 13 days.^[1]

Following the resignation of the previous government, chaired by Mario Scelba and caused by internal clashes with the DC and by the PRI's refusal to return to the government, the President of the Republic Gronchi, on 26 June 1955, instructed Antonio Segni to start consultations with the parties to explore the possibilities of the formation of a new government and, having obtained the approval of the DC, PSDI and PLI and external support from the PRI, on 2 July, he was entrusted with the task of forming the new government. The program was presented first to the Chamber which, on 18 July, approved the motion of confidence with 293 votes in favor and 265 against while, in the Senate, it was approved on 22 July with 121 votes in favor and 100 against.

Following the departure of the PSDI from the government, Segni presented his resignation to Gronchi on 6 May 1957.^[2]

The government was composed by the following parties:

• Christian Democracy (DC): prime minister, 14 ministers and 31 undersecretaries
• Italian Democratic Socialist Party (PSDI): deputy prime minister, 3 ministers and 5 undersecretaries
• Italian Liberal Party (PLI): 3 ministers and 4 undersecretaries
