The Kenney Ministry was the combined Cabinet (called Executive Council of Alberta), chaired by 18th Premier of Alberta Jason Kenney, that governed Alberta from April 2019 until October 2022.

During Kenney's tenure, the Executive Council (commonly known as the Cabinet) was made up of members of the United Conservative Party, which held a majority of the seats in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. The Cabinet was appointed by the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, Lois Mitchell, on the advice of the premier.

In September 2021, the United Conservative Party board announced a leadership review would take place at the Party's annual general meeting in April 2022, ahead of the previous plans for a leadership review to take place in Fall 2022. In March 2022, the United Conservative Party changed the format for the leadership review, moving to a mail-in ballot beginning in April 2022, with results to be announced on May 18, 2022.

On May 18, 2022, after receiving support from 51.4 per cent of the United Conservative Party members, Kenney announced he would step down as leader of the United Conservative Party. The United Conservative Party caucus met on May 19, 2022, and caucus chair Nathan Neudorf released a statement affirming that Kenney would remain as leader of the party until a new leader is elected. Kenney subsequently sent a letter to the party secretary informing her of his intention to resign as leader of the party after a new leader is elected.

Danielle Smith was selected as the leader of the United Conservative Party in the October 2022 United Conservative Party leadership election, and was sworn in as the 19th Premier of Alberta on October 11, 2022. Smith appointed a new ministry one week later.
