The Harris ministry was the combined Cabinet (formally the Executive Council of Ontario) that governed Ontario from June 26, 1995, to April 14, 2002. It was chaired by the 22nd premier of Ontario, Mike Harris. The Cabinet was made up of members of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, which commanded a parliamentary majority.

The ministry replaced the Rae ministry following the aftermath of the 1995 Ontario general election. The ministry governed through the 36th Parliament of Ontario and the first several years of the final seventeen months of the 37th Parliament.

After Mike Harris resigned as Premier April 14, 2002, he was succeeded by Ernie Eves.
