Paolo Zangrillo (Genoa, born 3 December 1961) is an Italian politician and business executive, and the Minister for Public Administration in the Meloni government since 22 October 2022.

[6] On 18 October 2018 he was appointed as the new regional commissioner of Forza Italia in Piedmont and Aosta Valley,[7] replacing his party colleague and senator Gilberto Pichetto Fratin.

[8] On 24 December 2019 the regional councilor Emily Rini was chosen as the new coordinator of Forza Italia in the Aosta Valley, and therefore Zangrillo retains the position only for Piedmont.

[9] In the early general elections of 2022, Zangrillo was a candidate for the Senate of the Republic in the uninominal college of Alessandria, for the center-right coalition in the Forza Italia, where he was elected senator with 50.83% of the votes, just under double compared to the candidates of the center-left, Democratic Party, Maria Rita Rossa (25.64%) and the Susy Matrisciano 5 Star Movement (9.57%).

He said he was in favor of smart working in the public administration, saying he was more open than the previous Minister of Public Administration Renato Brunetta, to the Turin-Lyon TAV project numerous times, participating in the Madamine demonstration in Piazza Castello in November 2018 and also invoking the "hard fist" of the Turin judiciary against groups of No TAV demonstrators,[11][12] and a strong critic of citizens' income.
