The Third Lyons ministry (United Australia–Country Coalition) was the 22nd ministry of the Government of Australia. It was led by the country's 10th Prime Minister, Joseph Lyons. The Third Lyons ministry succeeded the Second Lyons ministry, which dissolved on 9 November 1934 after Lyons entered into a formal Coalition with Earle Page and his Country Party; the second such coalition after that of the Bruce government. The ministry was replaced by the Fourth Lyons ministry on 29 November 1937 following the 1937 federal election.{{cite web | title = Ministries and Cabinets | work =Parliamentary Handbook | publisher =Parliament of Australia | date = | url =http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;page=0;query=Scullin%20Ministry%20(ALP);rec=0;resCount=Default | accessdate =17 September 2010 }}
