The Nixon Ministry was the combined cabinet (formally the Executive Council of Ontario) that governed Ontario from May 18, 1943, to August 17, 1943. It was led by the 13th Premier of Ontario, Harry Nixon. The ministry was made up of members of the Liberal Party of Ontario, which commanded a majority of the seats in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

The ministry replaced the Conant ministry following the 1943 Ontario Liberal Party leadership convention. The Nixon ministry governed through the final few weeks of the 20th Parliament of Ontario. It is the shortest-lived ministry in Ontario history.

Nixon resigned after his party lost the 1943 Ontario general election. Kennedy was succeeded as Premier of Ontario by George A. Drew.
