The Palestinian Central Council (PCC; Arabic: المجلس المركزي الفلسطيني, romanized: al-Majlis al-Markazī al-Filasṭīnī), also known as PLO Central Council, is one of the institutions of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The PCC makes policy decisions when the Palestinian National Council (PNC) is not in session, and acts as a link between the PNC and the PLO Executive Committee.[1]

The PCC serves as the intermediary body between the PNC and the EC. The PCC is chaired by the PNC chairman, and has increasingly eclipsed the PNC as the main decision-making body of the PLO. In 2018, the PNC transferred its legislative powers to the PCC, including powers to elect members of the EC.[1]

The PCC is elected by the PNC after nomination by the PLO Executive and chaired by the PNC president.[2]
