{{Politics of Romania}}

The Second Orban cabinet was the government of Romania until the 2020 legislative elections. It was a minority administration led by Ludovic Orban, the leader of the National Liberal Party (PNL), who received the support of a parliamentary majority on 14 March 2020 and entered office the same day. It included a wide de facto confidence-and-supply with the other parties, in the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

On 14 March 2020, the cabinet hearings and vote took place in special conditions, due to the suspicion that Senator Vergil Chițac [ro], who tested positive for COVID-19, infected the National Liberal Party (PNL) leadership, as well as some fellow senators. The same day the Cabinet was sworn in at Cotroceni Palace in special conditions.{{Cite web|date=2020-03-14|title=VIDEO Guvernul Orban 2 - miniștrii au fost audiați prin videoconferință / Votul de învestitură, în condiții speciale|trans-title=VIDEO Orban 2 Cabinet - the ministers have been heard via videoconference / The investiture vote, in special conditions|url=https://www.hotnews.ro/stiri-politic-23723316-guvernul-orban-3-votat-parlament-timp-parlamentarii-sunt-inca-testati-pentru-covid-19-ministrii-vor-audiati-prin-videoconferinta.htm|website=HotNews.ro|language=ro|df=dmy-all}}
