The Leon Solomiac government was the provisional government of the State of Syria that served from 19 November 1931 until 11 June 1932 during the French Mandate for Syria. It was established by High Commissioner Decision No. 2, published in the Official Bulletin of Administrative Affairs of the State of Syria on 19 November 1931.
The government was headed by Léon Solomiac, the deputy French high commissioner in Damascus. It remains the only government in Syrian history that was not headed by a Syrian national. According to the decree establishing it, the government's primary function was to act as a temporary administration overseeing the parliamentary elections following the promulgation of the Syrian Constitution of 1930.
During its tenure, the government supervised a two-stage parliamentary election process. The election results were announced on 9 April 1932, after which the newly elected parliament was convened. In accordance with constitutional provisions, the government resigned upon the assembly of the Chamber of Deputies.
