The Whitney ministry was the combined cabinet (formally the Executive Council of Ontario) that governed Ontario from February 8, 1905, to October 2. It was led by the 6th Premier of Ontario, James Whitney.

The ministry replaced the Ross ministry following the 1905 Ontario general election. The Hearst ministry governed through the 11th, 12th, and 13th Parliament of Ontario as well as the first several weeks of the 14th Parliament of Ontario.

Whitney died on September 25th, 1914. He was succeeded as Premier of Ontario by William Howard Hearst.
