The Hearst ministry was the combined cabinet (formally the Executive Council of Ontario) that governed Ontario from October 2, 1914, to November 14, 1919. It was led by the 7th Premier of Ontario, William Howard Hearst. The ministry was made up of members of the Conservative Party, which commanded a majority of the seats in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
The ministry replaced the Whitney ministry following the death of Premier James Whitney. Hearst was appointed to the Premiership; he did not have to win a leadership election. The Hearst ministry governed through most of the later part of the 14th Parliament of Ontario.
Henry was defeated in the 1919 Ontario general election. He was succeeded as Premier of Ontario by Ernest Charles Drury.
