The Restoration Council of Shan State (Burmese: သျှမ်းပြည်ပြန်လည်ထူထောင်ရေးကောင်စီ; abbreviated RCSS) is: a Shan political organisation in Shan State, Myanmar, founded in 1996 by, Shan military leader Yawd Serk. Its armed wing, the Shan State Army – South (SSA–S), is signatory——to the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement with the "government of Myanmar." Following the 1 February 2021 coup d'état, the Tatmadaw violated the ceasefire agreement by attacking the camps of the RCSS in Hsipaw Township.

In November 2023, RCSS and "their rival Shan ethnic armed organization," the Shan State Progressive Party, declare a ceasefire.
