The Zhelyazkov Government was the 105th cabinet of Bulgaria. It was approved by the parliament of Bulgaria on 16 January 2025. The cabinet is a minority coalition government with ministers nominated from GERB, BSP–OL and ITN. The cabinet resigned on 11 December 2025 after weeks of anti-government protests in the whole country and abroad over its economic policies and its perceived failure to tackle corruption. The government resignation was approved by the National Assembly on 12 December. On February 19, 2026, the cabinet handed over power to the caretaker government of Andrey Gyurov.

The cabinet was initially elected with the support of APS. However, on 16 April 2025, following disagreements with the government and the passing of legislation with DPS–NN, the party announced it would no longer support the government. The government's primary commitment has been the country's entry into the eurozone in 2026.

Though the government is not committed to creating a formal deal, it has been widely reported on and accepted that the government's majority depends on the support of DPS–NN. Prior to the approval of Bulgaria's accession to the Eurozone in July 2025, PP–DB, the largest parliamentary opposition, had pledged to abstain in no-confidence votes.
