The fourth government of Jordi Pujol was formed on 16 April 1992 following the latter's reelection as President of Catalonia by the Parliament of Catalonia on 9 April and his swearing-in on 15 April, as a result of the Convergence and Union (CiU) alliance emerging as the largest parliamentary force at the 1992 Catalan regional election and securing a third consecutive absolute majority.[1] It succeeded the third Pujol government and was the Government of Catalonia from 16 April 1992 to 11 January 1996, a total of 1,365 days, or 3 years, 8 months and 26 days.

The cabinet was an all-CiU government, comprising members of the Democratic Convergence of Catalonia (CDC) and its sister party, the Democratic Union of Catalonia (UDC).[2] It was automatically dismissed on 20 November 1995 as a consequence of the 1995 regional election, but remained in acting capacity until the next government was sworn in.
