The Mohan Charan Majhi ministry is the incumbent governing council of the state of Odisha, India, formed after the 2024 Odisha Legislative Assembly election. Following the election, Mohan Charan Majhi was elected as the leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislative group on 11 June 2024. He assumed office as the Chief Minister of Odisha the following day on 12 June 2024, alongside two Deputy Chief Ministers and a 13-member council of ministers.

The government was established after the BJP won a clear majority by securing 78 out of 147 seats in the assembly. The legislative strength of the treasury benches is further augmented to 81 seats with the external support of 3 independent MLAs. This led to the formation of the 17th Odisha Assembly, ending the 24-year governance of the Biju Janata Dal led by Naveen Patnaik.
