Pedro Aguirre Cerda cabinet ministers
The cabinet ministers of Pedro Aguirre Cerda comprised the heads of the executive ministries of Chile during his presidency, which lasted from 24 December 1938 to 25 November 1941.
The cabinet was initially structured around the Popular Front coalition, integrating Radical, Socialist, Democratic and other centrist or left-leaning political sectors, although it later experienced significant reshuffles due to political realignments and the outbreak of the Second World War.
