The First Salah al-Din al-Bitar Government ruled Syria from March to May 1963. The Cabinet of Syria was led by then-Prime Minister Salah al-Din al-Bitar.[1] This government was the 60th since Syria gained independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1918 and the country's first Baathist government.[2]

It was formed on March 9 by decree of the NCRC one day after the triumph of the 1963 Syrian coup d'état and dissolved two months later.[3] All vital ministries except the defense ministry— which was headed by independent Nasserite General Muhammad al-Sufi—were given to Ba'athists.[3]
