The Second Perrottet ministry or Second Perrottet–Toole ministry was the 99th ministry of the Government of New South Wales, and was led by Dominic Perrottet, the state's 46th Premier.

The Liberal–National coalition ministry was formed on 21 December 2021 from a reshuffle, the first time since Perrottet and Paul Toole were elected as Liberal Party leader and National Party leader respectively in October 2021. The Parliament of New South Wales considers the reshuffled ministry to be a separate and new ministry from the previous Perrottet ministry before the reshuffle.{{cite web|url=https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/members/formermembers/Documents/Part%206%20combined.pdf|title=NSW Parliamentary Record - Part 6 : Ministries 1856 to the present|publisher=Parliament of New South Wales|access-date=28 March 2022 |archive-date=18 September 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230918054111/https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/members/formermembers/Documents/Part%206%20combined.pdf |url-status=live}}

The ministry was succeeded by Labor's Minns ministry on 28 March 2023 after the electoral loss of the Coalition in the 2023 state election.
