The Virginia Governor's Cabinet is a body of the most senior appointed officers of the executive branch of the Government of Virginia. The Cabinet is responsible for advising the Governor of Virginia, and its secretaries oversee various Virginia state agencies. Cabinet officers are nominated by the governor and then presented to the Virginia General Assembly for confirmation. Once confirmed, members of the Cabinet receive the title "Secretary" and serve at the pleasure of the governor. Two cabinet-level officials are not secretaries, and directly support the Governor's Office.

Cabinet members report directly to the Governor of Virginia. The Lieutenant Governor of Virginia does not have any statutory authority over the cabinet, and is not considered a member. The current Cabinet is serving under Governor Abigail Spanberger.
