The Shadow Cabinet of Kyriakos Mitsotakis was announced on 21 January 2016, ten days after the election of Kyriakos Mitsotakis as President of New Democracy. As Leader of the Opposition, Mitsotakis could appoint a shadow cabinet to assist him in his duties.

Many members of the shadow cabinet were appointed ministers in Mitsotakis' government in July 2019.
