The Government of Sikkim also known as the State Government of Sikkim is the administrative executive authority of the Indian state of Sikkim and its 6 districts, created by the National Constitution as the legislative, executive and judicial authority to govern the state. The Governor acts as the head of state and is, nominally, the highest figure of executive authority. However it is the Chief Minister who is the de facto head of government and chief executive.

Gangtok is the capital of Sikkim, and houses the Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly), the secretariat, and the Sikkim High Court.

The current Legislative Assembly of Sikkim is unicameral, consisting of 32 Member of the Legislative Assembly (M.L.A). Its term is 5 years, unless sooner dissolved.
