Ioannis Skoularikis (Greek: Ιωάννης Σκουλαρίκης; 1 August 1928, Smila – 15 September 2008) or Yannis Skoularikis (Γιάννης Σκουλαρίκης) was a Greek politician of the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) and cabinet member under Andreas Papandreou.

He was a lawyer, specializing in criminal law and labor law.

He was Minister of Public Order from 21 October 1981 to 9 May 1985, Alternate Minister of the Interior from 22 June 1988 to 17 March 1989, when he was appointed Minister of Justice, holding the post until 2 June. He then served again as Minister of Labor from 8 July 1994 to 15 September 1995.

As Minister of Public Order he was responsible for the creation of a new police force, the present-day Hellenic Police, which was created in 1984 by merging the old Gendarmerie and City Police, in order to create a more modern and democratic law enforcement agency. He also supported the creation of labor unions inside the Police, despite strong opposition from conservatives.

He died in September 2008.
