The fifth government of Jordi Pujol was formed on 12 January 1996 following the latter's reelection as President of Catalonia by the Parliament of Catalonia on 16 December 1995 and his swearing-in on ?, as a result of the Convergence and Union (CiU) alliance emerging as the largest parliamentary force at the 1995 Catalan regional election, though managing to lose the absolute majority for the first time since 1980. It succeeded the fourth Pujol government and was the Government of Catalonia from 12 January 1996 to 29 November 1999, a total of 1,366 days, or 3 years, 10 months and 17 days
The cabinet was an all-CiU government, comprising members of the Democratic Convergence of Catalonia (CDC) and its sister party, the Democratic Union of Catalonia (UDC). It was automatically dismissed on 18 October 1999 as a consequence of the 1999 regional election, but remained in acting capacity until the next government was sworn in.
