This is a list of the principal holders of government office during the premiership of theEarl of Shelburne between July 1782 and April 1783.

Upon the fall of theNorth ministry in March 1782, WhigCharles Watson-Wentworth, 2nd Marquess of Rockingham became prime minister for a second time. He died in office four months later, andHome Secretary Lord Shelburne was invited to form a government. However,Charles James Fox and several other formerRockinghamites (includingLord John Cavendish andEdmund Burke) refused to serve under Shelburne and went into opposition. TheFoxites allied with the supporters of Lord North to bring down the government, and theFox–North coalition came to power in April 1783. This government did not long survive the hostility of KingGeorge III, and many of Shelburne's ministers returned to office under the leadership ofWilliam Pitt the Younger in December 1783, though Shelburne himself was consoled with the titleMarquess of Lansdowne.
