The first Rhein cabinet was the state government of Hesse from 31 May 2022, after Boris Rhein was elected as Minister-President of Hesse by the members of the Landtag of Hesse, until 18 January 2024. It was the 23rd Cabinet of Hesse, and was succeeded by the second Rhein cabinet.
It was formed after the resignation of Minister-President Volker Bouffier, and was a continuation of the coalition government of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Alliance 90/The Greens (GRÜNE) formed after the 2018 Hessian state election. Excluding the Minister-President, the cabinet comprised eleven ministers. Seven were members of the CDU and four were members of the Greens.
