"Surprise Chef" was an Australian cooking television show that aired on the Seven Network from 2001 to 2003.

The show revolved around chef Aristos Papandroulakis, who would surprise an unwitting Coles supermarket shopper with an offer to cook dinner for them in their own home. If taken up on the offer, Aristos then set himself to cook a filling meal using only the ingredients available to him from their pantry, fridge or what groceries they had bought. He also set himself a "challenge ingredient", in one episode this involved using a bottle of Coca Cola as a marinade.

In bookending segments, Aristos was also joined by co-presenters Ian "Herbie" Hemphill and Flip Shelton, who gave tips on food preparation and meal ideas. Later, Greg Duncan Powell and Ben Canaider joined the cast, giving advice on choosing wines, while Cindy Sargon replaced Shelton in 2003.

"Surprise Chef" currently airs on Seven HD.
