The İnönü III cabinet was the fourth government of Turkey, which was led by İsmet İnönü from March 3, 1925 to November 1, 1927 .

In the elections in June 1923, only Müdâfaa-i hukuk cemiyetleri was admitted, which was renamed Halk Fırkası in September 1923 (from November 1924 Cumhuriyet Halk Fırkası , from 1935 Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi ). After the Sultan's flight, the Grand National Assembly of Turkey passed a constitutional amendment on October 29, 1923, declaring Turkey a republic and the President as head of state. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was elected the first president, and İsmet İnönü was appointed prime minister.

After the sultanate and caliphate had been abolished, the minority of the “Ottomanists” in the HF felt marginalized. 32 MPs left the Halk Fırkası and founded the Terakkiperver Cumhuriyet Fırkası (TCF). Unlike the HF, the TCP also advocated nationalism and secularism , but wanted less centralism and authoritarianism and less radical reforms in line with the traditions of the country. The popularity of the new party in the country's major cities was so great that Ataturk decided to act quickly: He dismissed İnönü and appointed the liberal Fethi Okyar as the new prime minister.

After Ataturk banned the Kurdish language in public at the turn of the year 1923/24 and banished Kurdish leaders to Western Anatolia, a Kurdish uprising broke out in February 1925 under the leadership of Sheikh Said . Ataturk reacted quickly again: He banned the TCF for "supporting the rebellion and exploiting religious feelings for political purposes" and had the Kurdish uprising put down. Okyar was dismissed and İnönü was again head of government. Ataturk's CHF was again the only party in parliament.

In the period that followed, a large number of reform laws were drawn up: pilgrimage graves and dervish conventions were closed, and Muslim fraternities were banned. Except for the government- affiliated Cumhuriyet and the government paper Hakimiyet-i Milliye, all newspapers had to be closed. The fez was banned. The "independence tribunals", which issued countless arrests and over 600 executions, were used to enforce this. Civil, criminal, commercial and economic law were reformed according to European law. In addition, the framework conditions in the finance and banking sector were comprehensively reformed. The Rumi calendar was abolished and the Gregorian calendar was introduced as the "International Calendar" with the month names of the Rumi calendar.

On November 1, 1927, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was elected President for the third time by the Turkish National Assembly. İsmet İnönü subsequently resigned pro forma and reorganized his cabinet.
