Notes
  1. Does not include the Prime Minister.
  2. Sources differ on the numbering, depending on whether they consider every cabinet change or just major reshuffles as giving way to a different government. In this sense, the 1945–1951 period is regarded as both the third and the seventh government under Franco, depending on the source.[1][2]
