The Seventh Development Cabinet (Indonesian: Kabinet Pembangunan VII) was the Indonesian cabinet which served under President Suharto and Vice President B. J. Habibie from 16 March 1998 to 21 May 1998.

The cabinet was formed in the midst of the 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 Welfare 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.
