The government of Antonio Aguilar y Correa, Marquis of Vega de Armijo, was formed on 4 December 1906, following the latter's appointment as prime minister of Spain by King Alfonso XIII on 3 December and his swearing-in the next day, as a result of Segismundo Moret's resignation from the post on 3 December in the wake of the "crisis of the letter" (crisis del papelito). It succeeded the second Moret government and was the government of Spain from 4 December 1906 to 25 January 1907, a total of 52 days, or 1 month and 21 days.
The cabinet comprised members of the Liberal–Democratic alliance and two military officers. With the Liberals deeply divided over the Law of Associations and a proposal to reform consumption taxes, the government collapsed on 23 January, unable to arrange an agreement between the various party factions.
