The third Abe cabinet, which was reorganized for the third time ( Japanese 第 3 次 安 倍 第 3 次 改造 内閣 daisanji Abe daisanji kaizō naikaku ) ruled Japan under the leadership of Shinzō Abe from a cabinet reshuffle on August 3, 2017, which Abe a few weeks after the prefecture election in Tokyo carried out, until November 1, 2017. In the election, the Liberal Democratic Party had lost its majority in the Tokyo prefecture parliament with its historically worst election result, and the approval ratings of the population for the previous cabinet fell significantly due to its obviously nepotistic approach. I.a. Abe is accused of he and his wife Akie were involved in a scandal over an ultra-nationalist oriented school and kindergarten operators. At Abe's request, he received considerable discounts on a plot of land in Osaka for building an ultra-nationalist elementary school . In addition, Abe did the Ministry of Education under pressure to issue the building permit for a veterinary educational institution that had been requested by a close friend Abe.

Five ministers from the previous cabinet kept their departments, including Deputy Prime Minister Asō, Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga and Minister of Economic Affairs Sekō. Six of the new cabinet members had never been ministers before. This relatively small number of new ministers shows that Abe relied on experienced politicians for the reshuffle in order to prevent the scandal caused by the ministers' rash actions - in view of the incidents in the previous cabinet. All ministers were MPs in the National Assembly : including the Prime Minister, 16 came from the House of Representatives and four from the Senate . There were two women in the cabinet.

On September 28, 2017, Abe dissolved the House of Representatives. After the House of Representatives election on October 22, 2017 , the cabinet resigned before the election of a new prime minister on November 1, 2017 and was replaced on the same day by the fourth Abe cabinet, which was identical in personnel .

This cabinet was the first in post-war history that did not take part in a parliamentary debate, as the regular session of the Kokkai ended in June 2017 and the next regular session only began in January of the following year. In view of the Abe scandals, the opposition had requested an extraordinary session for September 28, 2017, but Parliament dissolved it on that day.
