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.[1] Following the 1 February 2021 coup d'état, the Tatmadaw violated the ceasefire agreement by attacking the camps of the RCSS in Hsipaw Township.[2]

In November 2023, RCSS and their rival Shan ethnic armed organization, the Shan State Progressive Party, declare a ceasefire.[3]
