The Henry Ministry was the combined cabinet (formally the Executive Council of Ontario) that governed Ontario from December 15, 1930, to July 10, 1934. It was led by the 10th Premier of Ontario, George Stewart Henry. The ministry was made up of members of the Conservative Party of Ontario, which commanded a majority of the seats in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

The ministry replaced the Ferguson ministry following the resignation of Premier Howard Ferguson. Henry was appointed to the Premiership without a party convention. The Henry ministry governed most of the later part of the 18th Parliament of Ontario.

Henry resigned after his party lost the 1934 Ontario general election. He was succeeded as Premier of Ontario by Mitch Hepburn.
