The first government of María Chivite was formed on 7 August 2019, following the latter's election as President of the Government of Navarre by the Parliament of Navarre on 2 August and her swearing-in on 6 August, as a result of the Socialist Party of Navarre (PSN–PSOE) being able to muster a majority of seats in the Parliament together with Geroa Bai (GBai) and Podemos, with external support from EH Bildu and Izquierda-Ezkerra (I–E), following the 2019 Navarrese regional election.

The cabinet comprised members of the PSN–PSOE, GBai—with the involvement of the Basque Nationalist Party (EAJ/PNV) and, from September 2020, also Future Social Greens (GSB/GSV)—and Podemos, as well as a number of independents proposed by the first two parties.

It was automatically dismissed on 29 May 2023 as a consequence of the 2023 regional election, but remained in acting capacity until the next government was sworn in.

Chivite's first government saw a number of cabinet changes during its tenure: The Council of Government is structured into the offices for the president, the two vice presidents and 13 ministries.
