The fourth Morgan government (19 July 2007 – 10 December 2009) was a Labour–Plaid Cymru coalition government led by First Minister for Wales, Rhodri Morgan.
After the collapse of coalition talks between Plaid Cymru, the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats, the Labour Party started talks with Plaid Cymru, reaching the "One Wales" agreement. A new cabinet was appointed on 19 July 2007.
