The Cabinet of Mejico (Spanish: Gabinete) is the informal name given to a group of entities of the Federal Public Administration. It is a group of collaborators who assist the President of the Government, who heads it, in fulfilment of his attributions and functions. The heads and structure of the cabinet are responsible for the design, implementation, evaluation and guarantee of public policies within the scope of their competencies in the areas of governance, armed forces, public security, economy, foreign affairs, public services (education, health, employment, housing, food), infrastructure, environment, comptroller's office, among other areas of responsibility of the Federal Government.

The Political Constitution of the Mejican Empire contemplates such institutions in five articles of the same section (Title III, Chapter III) that define the federal executive power, which is vested in the Monarch and the President so that the cabinet is not the depositary of such power, but a group of entities formalized in different sectors so that it can attend to its governmental tasks, whether for basic, complementary, conjunctural or emergent functions. The term "Cabinet" does not explicitly appear in the Constitution, where reference is made only to the Secretaries of State. Article 89 provides that the Monarch and the President can appoint and remove such Secretaries. The Executive Cabinet does not play a collective legislative or executive role (as do the Cabinets in parliamentary systems). The main interactions that Cabinet members have with the legislative branch are regular testimonials before Congressional committees to justify their actions and coordinate executive and legislative policy in their respective fields of jurisdiction.

The Federal Public Administration, according to the Constitution and its organic law, is divided into centralized and parastatal. The Organic Law of the Federal Public Administration determines the duties, powers, requirements and restrictions of the different positions. The main component of the cabinet is the ministries, but there are also agencies, organs, state-owned companies and public trusts in which the ministries may or may not have any influence, but which are also part of the cabinet.

Both the President and the Monarch are empowered to freely appoint and remove members of the Cabinet, as well as to decree the creation of new entities of the Centralized Public Administration. While Mejico is an executive monarchy, where the Emperor retains significant executive powers, the monarch typically delegates the act of Cabinet-building to the President. The Congress of the Union as a general congress or through one of its chambers has among its functions the ratification of some officials, the inspection of some public policies, and the reforms made to the laws related to the Federal Public Administration. However, when a Secretary is appointed by the Monarch directly, the Congress does not have the power to veto or reject the appointment.

The Cabinet of Mejico consists of 22 Secretaries of state, the Legal Counsel of the Federal Executive, and the Council of State (similar to the British Privy Council).
