The XX Constitutional Government of Portugal (Portuguese: XX Governo Constitucional de Portugal) was the 20th government of the Third Portuguese Republic, under the current Constitution. It was in office between 30 October 2015 and 26 November 2015, and was formed by a centre-right coalition between the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the CDS – People's Party (CDS–PP), which ran together in the 2015 legislative election under the name Portugal Ahead. Pedro Passos Coelho, leader of the PSD, served as Prime Minister.

Lasting only 27 days, it was the shortest-lived Portuguese national government since the Carnation Revolution.[1]
