The Fourth Abe Cabinet governed Japan under the leadership of Prime Minister Shinzō Abe from November 2017 to September 2020. The government is a coalition between the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito (which had changed its name from "New Komeito" in the 2012–2014 term) and controls both the upper and lower houses of the National Diet.

Following his resignation, the Fourth Abe cabinet was dissolved on September 16, 2020, and replaced with the Suga cabinet.

According to research by Nikkan Gendai, 10 out of 20 members in the Fourth Abe Cabinet had connections to the Unification Church.{{cite web |title=旧統一教会と「関係アリ」国会議員リスト入手！ 歴代政権の重要ポスト経験者が34人も |url=https://www.nikkan-gendai.com/articles/view/life/308409 |website=Nikkan Gendai |date=16 July 2022 |access-date=22 July 2022 }} These connections were largely not reported by Japanese media at the time.{{Citation|url=https://www.ft.com/content/a31f0f6d-39c9-4990-9081-057f773d56d4|title=Killing of Shinzo Abe shines spotlight on politicians' links with Moonies|work=Financial Times|date=11 July 2022|accessdate=11 July 2022|language=en|archive-date=12 July 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220712023326/https://www.ft.com/content/a31f0f6d-39c9-4990-9081-057f773d56d4|url-status=live}}
