法国执政府是由1799年雾月政变推翻督政府到1804年拿破仑称帝为止。

热月政变后，雅各宾政府垮台，督政府成立，但是法国对外依然面对着反法联盟联军的入侵，南部则有保皇党叛乱试图恢复君主制，一连串的动荡不安加深人民对督政府的腐败无能深感不满。1799年，拿破仑从埃及返国，并连同富歇和塔列朗密谋政变。同年11月9日，拿破仑军队控制督政府，迫使督政辞职，将法国议会和元老院解散，夺取议会大权，并宣布执政府成立，督政府正式灭亡。

The Consulate was the government of France from the fall of the Directory in the coup of Brumaire in 1799 until the start of the Napoleonic Empire in 1804. By extension, the term The Consulate also refers to this period of French history.

During this period, Napoleon Bonaparte, as First Consul, established himself as the head of a more liberal, authoritarian, autocratic, and centralized republican government in France while not declaring himself head of state. Due to the long-lasting institutions established during these years, Robert B. Holtman has called the Consulate "one of the most important periods of all French history."
