The third cabinet of Cyril Ramaphosa, also known as the Government of National Unity (GNU), is the incumbent cabinet of the Government of South Africa. It was appointed on 30 June 2024 after Ramaphosa's African National Congress (ANC) lost its absolute majority in the May 2024 general election and formed a ten-member coalition government.

The coalition was formed on 14 June 2024, when the Democratic Alliance, Inkatha Freedom Party, and Patriotic Alliance joined the ANC in supporting Ramaphosa's election to a second full term as President of South Africa. All four original members of the coalition are represented in the cabinet, as are three later entrants, the Good Party, Pan Africanist Congress, and Freedom Front Plus. The United Democratic Movement and Al Jama-ah are represented by deputy ministers, and Rise Mzansi participates in the legislative coalition but is not represented in the national executive.

The government operates with a comfortable majority in the National Assembly. It is the first coalition government in South Africa since the constitutionally mandated post-apartheid Government of National Unity, and it marks the first time that the ANC has had to govern without an absolute majority.
