The second government of Manuel Azaña was formed on 16 December 1931, following the latter's appointment as prime minister of Spain by President Niceto Alcalá-Zamora and his swearing-in that same day. It succeeded the first Azaña government and was the government of Spain from 16 December 1931 to 12 June 1933, a total of 544 days, or 1 year, 5 months and 27 days.
The cabinet comprised members of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), the Radical Socialist Republican Party (PRRS), the Republican Action (AR) and the Autonomous Galician Republican Organization (ORGA), as well as one independent minister proposed by Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC). It was disestablished as a consequence of the fallout of the Casas Viejas incident and the withdrawal of presidential confidence due to the approval of the Law on Religious Congregations.
