The First Mario Frick cabinet was the governing body of Liechtenstein from 15 December 1993 to 9 April 1997. It was appointed by Hans-Adam II and was chaired by Mario Frick.

History

October 1993 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Patriotic Union. As a result, the Markus Büchel cabinet was dissolved with Mario Frick succeeding Markus Büchel as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein. He became Europe's youngest head of government at the time at 28 years old.

During the government's term, Liechtenstein entered the European Economic Area after a successful referendum in 1995, and also joined the World Trade Organization the same year. However, it also faced problems in its foreign relations, such as a dispute with the Czech Republic begun in 1992 over the confiscation of Princely properties estates in 1945.

The 1997 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Patriotic Union. As a result, the cabinet was dissolved and succeeded by the Second Mario Frick cabinet.
