The first government of Felipe González was formed on 3 December 1982, following the latter's election as Prime Minister of Spain by the Congress of Deputies on 1 December and his swearing-in on 2 December, as a result of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) emerging as the largest parliamentary force at the 1982 Spanish general election.

[2][3] It comprised members of the PSOE (including its sister party, the Socialists' Party of Catalonia (PSC), as well as one member from the Democratic Action Party (PAD), which had contested the 1982 election in alliance with the PSOE and would merge into it in January 1983)[4] and one independent.

[5][6][7] It was automatically dismissed on 23 June 1986 as a consequence of the 1986 general election, but remained in acting capacity until the next government was sworn in.

[13] Felipe González's first government was organised into several superior and governing units, whose number, powers and hierarchical structure varied depending on the ministerial department.
