{{redirect|Danby ministry|the administration he later led as Lord Carmarthen|Carmarthen ministry}}{{Unreferenced|date=December 2009}}The first Danby ministry was the name of the governmental body led by The Earl of Danby during the reign of Charles II. It was the successor of the Cabal ministry which fell from power when the Catholicism of some members became a problem for parliament. As a consequence of this issue, the Danby ministry was traditionally associated with an Anglican policy in the Church of England and a pro-Dutch foreign policy.
