The Council of Common Interests (CCI) (Urdu: مشترکہ مفادات ہیئتِ, romanizedMuśtarkāh Mufādāt He'at) is an eight-member federal constitutional body in the government of Pakistan. It is appointed by the president on the prime minister's advice, and resolves the disputes of power sharing between the federation and its provinces (with chief ministers representing their respective provinces). The Council works under the Ministry of Inter Provincial Coordination and is responsible to both houses of the Parliament, the Senate and the National Assembly.

The Council of Common Interests was formed under the 1973 Constitution of Pakistan. Until 2010 the body worked under Cabinet Division. After the passing of the 18th amendment the body was transferred to the Ministry of Inter Provincial Coordination on 4 March 2010.

After passage of the Eighteenth Constitutional Amendment in April 2010, it is mandatory for the Council to meet at least once in ninety days. Membership of the CCI consists of the following:
