The shadow ministry of Peter Dutton was the shadow cabinet of Australia from 5 June 2022 to 3 May 2025, serving in opposition to the Albanese government. The shadow ministry is the Opposition's alternative to the first Albanese ministry, which was sworn in on 1 June 2022.

The shadow ministry was appointed by Peter Dutton following his election as Leader of the Liberal Party and Leader of the Opposition on 30 May 2022. Dutton and newly elected Nationals leader David Littleproud announced the composition of the shadow ministry on 5 June 2022. It succeeded the Albanese shadow ministry as shadow ministry and the Second Morrison ministry as the Coalition frontbench.

At the 2025 election, the Coalition failed to win government. Furthermore, Dutton lost his own seat at the election, ending his role as opposition leader. Deputy Liberal Party leader and deputy opposition leader was subsequently elected as Liberal party leader and opposition leader, and the Dutton shadow ministry was succeeded by the Ley shadow ministry.
