The Fourth Shehu government was a government of the Socialist People's Republic of Albania, which was founded on July 14, 1966 by Prime Minister Mehmet Shehu. the Party of Labor of Albania (Albanian: Partia e Punës e Shqipërisë) was formed. It replaced the third government of Mehmet Shehu and remained in office until November 20, 1970, when it was succeeded by the fifth government of Mehmet Shehu [de].

The government reshuffle followed the election for the Kuvendi i Shqipërisë on July 10, 1966. All ministers already belonged to the previous cabinet. Several office changes had already taken place by this time: As of January 1, 1965, the Ministry of Industry, Mining and Geology was split up into separate ministries; in the first months of 1966, the offices of the first deputy chairmen of the Council of Ministers were dissolved and the number of deputy chairmen of the Council of Ministers was reduced. The structure of the cabinet remained stable over the four-year term.
