The Interparliamentary Assembly of Member Nations of the Commonwealth of Independent States (IPA CIS) is a parliamentary assembly for delegations from the national parliaments of the member countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) established in 1992.

The overarching mission is law-making and alignment of national laws in the CIS. The IPA CIS is housed in the Tauride Palace in a historical landmark of Saint Petersburg.

Member states maintain their sovereignty and independence, and any present or future agreements and associations within the CIS are based on equality and consensus.[1]

Meetings of the Council of the Inter-Parliamentary Assembly of the Commonwealth of Independent States take place twice yearly.
