Gabriel Boric cabinet ministers

The cabinet ministers of Gabriel Boric are the members of Chile’s executive branch appointed to lead the ministries during his presidency, which began in 2022.

In January 2022, Boric announced his cabinet, which included members from the Apruebo Dignidad and Democratic Socialism coalitions, as well as independents. Fourteen of the 24 ministers were women, making it the first cabinet in the Americas with a female majority. The cabinet also featured Chile's first openly LGBT ministers, Alexandra Benado and Marco Antonio Ávila, along with Maya Fernández, the granddaughter of former president Salvador Allende.

Boric also appointed three fellow former student leaders to his cabinet. Camila Vallejo, who became the government spokesperson, Giorgio Jackson, who assumed the role of secretary-general of the presidency, and Nicolás Grau, who became the Minister of Economy, Development, and Tourism.

In August 2023, amid low approval ratings, voter concerns over crime and inflation, and a corruption probe focused on graft accusations, Boric reorganized his Cabinet for the third time in one-and-a-half years.
