The shadow ministry of Jess Wilson is the shadow cabinet of Victoria since November 2025, serving in opposition to the Allan government. The shadow ministry is the Opposition's alternative to the Allan ministry. It was formed following the 2025 Victorian Liberal Party leadership spill where Jess Wilson was elected leader of the Victorian Liberal Party and Leader of the Opposition. Sam Groth, who was elected as deputy leader at the 2024 Victorian Liberal Party leadership spill, successfully recontested the position.

The full arrangement of the shadow cabinet was announced on 30 November 2025, replacing Battin's shadow ministry.

The ministry was notable for including former Liberal leaders Brad Battin, who led the party before Wilson, and Matthew Guy, while excluding John Pesutto, despite prior speculation. Furthermore, Wilson retained her shadow treasurer role, breaking with Liberal Party precedent of the deputy having the treasury portfolio.
