The third government of Segismundo Moret was formed on 21 October 1909, following the latter's appointment as prime minister of Spain by King Alfonso XIII and his swearing-in that same day, as a result of Antonio Maura's resignation from the post on 21 October amid the political fallout from the Tragic Week and Francisco Ferrer's execution. It succeeded the second Maura government and was the government of Spain from 21 October 1909 to 9 February 1910, a total of 111 days, or 3 months and 19 days.

The cabinet comprised members of the Liberal Party and two military officers. It resigned on 9 February 1910 as a consequence of an internal crisis within the Liberals over the issue of collabotation with republican parties seeing Moret disavowed by leading party figures and the King himself, serving until the next government was sworn in.
