The First Pravind Jugnauth cabinet was a former cabinet of Mauritius formed by prime minister Pravind Jugnauth on 23 January 2017, following the resignation of his father and predecessor, Sir Anerood Jugnauth, as prime minister.
The Alliance Lepep, which won the general election in 2014, had its composition and majority in the National Assembly reduced following the decision of one of the parties in the coalition, the Parti Mauricien Social Démocrate, to quit the government in late December 2016. A full cabinet reshuffle had been expected to take place by the end of January 2017 but instead, Sir Anerood Jugnauth announced his resignation unexpectedly and to allow his son Pravind to take his place and form a new government. After the formation of his government, the governing coalition was only left with the Militant Socialist Movement, Muvman Liberater and the Rodrigues People's Organisation forming the new cabinet.
The cabinet was dissolved on 12 November 2019 following the victory of Pravind's Alliance Morisien in the general election held that same month and the formation of his second government.
