The third cabinet of Stefan Löfven (Swedish: regeringen Löfven III) was the government of Sweden during 9 July 2021 to 30 November 2021. It was a coalition, consisting of two parties: the Social Democrats and the Green Party. The cabinet was installed on 9 July 2021, during a formal government meeting with King Carl XVI Gustaf. The government was the result of the aftermath of the 2021 government crisis, which saw Löfven's government removed from power in a vote of no-confidence over proposed reforms to liberalise the rent control system.
With only 116 out of 349 seats (33%) in the Riksdag (Swedish parliament), the "red-green" coalition remained as one of the smallest minority governments in Swedish history, and it relied on support from other parties in the Riksdag.
The cabinet was a caretaker government since 10 November 2021 when Löfven asked to be dismissed as Prime Minister. Magdalena Andersson was appointed prime minister in his place on 24 November 2021 but resigned the same day after the Green Party withdrew its support for the government after the failure of the proposed budget and the passage of a different budget by right-wing parties.
