The Ross ministry was the combined cabinet (formally the Executive Council of Ontario) that governed Ontario from October 21, 1899, to October 2, 1905. It was led by the 5th Premier of Ontario, George William Ross. 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 Hardy ministry following the resignation of Premier Arthur Sturgis Hardy in 1899. The Ross ministry governed through the most of the 9th Parliament of Ontario, as well as all of the 10th Parliament of Ontario.
Ross lost the 1905 Ontario general election. He was succeeded as Premier of Ontario by James Whitney.
