Second Portland ministry

This is a list of members of the Tory government of the United Kingdom in office under the leadership of William Cavendish-Bentinck, 3rd Duke of Portland from 1807 to 1809.

Portrait of Lord Castlereagh by Thomas Lawrence 1809. Viscount Castlereagh served as Secretary for War until his resignation and duel with his colleague George Canning.

Portrait of the Duke of Portland by Thomas Lawrence, 1792. The Duke of Portland was the figurehead of the government, but exercised comparatively little power over his colleagues.

Spencer Perceval served as Chancellor of the Exchequer and succeeded Portland in 1809. He was subsequently assassinated in 1812, the only British Prime Minister to be killed in office.

Members of the Cabinet are in bold face.
