The first Itō cabinet ( Japanese 第 1 次 伊藤 内閣 , dai-ichiji Itō naikaku ) ruled Japan under the leadership of Prime Minister Itō Hirobumi from December 22, 1885 to April 30, 1888. It was the first modern Japanese cabinet after the abolition of the Dajōkan government system.

The cabinet was mainly recruited from the so-called Meiji oligarchy from the former, now officially dissolved fiefs ( Han ) Satsuma , Chōshū , Tosa and Hizen , who had carried out the Meiji Restoration . Therefore it is also known as hambatsu naikaku ( 藩 閥 内閣 , German for "Klanskabinett").

In April 1888 Itō Hirobumi resigned. He then became chairman of Sūmitsu-in and focused on creating the constitution for the Japanese Empire . The Tennō appointed the previous Minister of Agriculture, Count Kuroda from Satsuma, to succeed him as Prime Minister.
