The '''Seventh Development Cabinet''' ({{langx|id|Kabinet Pembangunan VII}}) was the [[Indonesia]]n cabinet which served under President [[Suharto]] and Vice President [[B. J. Habibie]] from 16 March 1998 to 21 May 1998. The term of this cabinet was supposed to end in March 2003, but due to student demonstrations and mass riots in 1998 due to the economic crisis that hit [[Indonesia]], which led to Soeharto's resignation from his position on 21 May 1998 and the appointment of Vice President [[B. J. Habibie]] as the new president, this cabinet became a resigned cabinet. As its replacement, the Indonesian government was continued by the [[Development Reform Cabinet]] .

The cabinet was formed in the midst of the [[1997 Asian financial crisis|Asian financial crisis]] and after Suharto was elected to a 7th term as president by the [[People's Consultative Assembly]] (MPR). It was a controversial cabinet where Suharto displayed his [[nepotism]] by appointing [[Siti Hardiyanti Rukmana]] as Minister of Social Affairs and gave [[Bob Hasan]], a crony, the position of Minister of Industry and Trade. When things went out of control in May 1998, Suharto tried to reshuffle the cabinet, but the rejection of 14 ministers to be part of the reshuffled cabinet became one of the reasons why Suharto chose to resign from the presidency.
