Mao Chi-kuo cabinet (Chinese: 毛治國內閣; pinyin: Máo Zhìguó nèigé) was the cabinet of the Republic of China (Taiwan) led by Premier Mao Chi-kuo from 8 December 2014 to 1 February 2016. It was the fifth cabinet during the presidency of Ma Ying-jeou.

Following the 2016 presidential and legislative elections on 16 January 2016, Premier Mao announced his resignation, citing the need for political accountability and a smooth transition of power. He congratulated the winning candidates and thanked election staff for their work. Mao declined President Ma Ying-jeou’s attempt to retain him, stressing that the Executive Yuan should remain effective during the four-month transition period before the new administration took office.
