The government of Marga Prohens was formed on 10 July 2023, following the latter's election as President of the Balearic Islands by the Parliament of the Balearic Islands on 6 July and her swearing-in on 7 July, as a result of the People's Party (PP) emerging as the largest parliamentary force at the 2023 regional election. It succeeded the second Armengol government and is the incumbent Government of the Balearic Islands since 10 July 2023, a total of 294 days, or 9 months and 19 days.

The cabinet comprises members of the PP, as well as an independent. The government received the external support of far-right Vox. The left-of-centre Socialist Party of the Balearic Islands (PSIB–PSOE), More for Mallorca (Més), More for Menorca (MxMe) and United We Can opposed the formation of the government.
