The Second Hassan al-Hakim government was the forty-seventh government in the history of modern Syria and the third administration of the Second Syrian Republic. Formed on 9 August 1951, it was the sixth government to serve during the second presidency of Hashim al-Atassi and the second cabinet headed by Hassan al-Hakim.
The government was initially opposed by senior military leaders due to al-Hakim's perceived support for closer relations with Iraq and the People's Party. However, the military eventually accepted the government after it was formed without party-affiliated figures. Despite this compromise, the government struggled to maintain political stability and was unable to remain in power for more than two months due to disputes with parliamentary blocs.
The government's short tenure reflected the continuing tensions between civilian political forces, parliamentary groups, and the increasingly influential military establishment in Syria during the early 1950s.
