The National Security Council (Spanish: Consejo de Seguridad Nacional, CSN) of Spain is the principal advisory body used by the Prime Minister for considerations of national security and foreign policy matters with senior ranks of the Administration with competencies in these matters. It was created in 2013 with the unanimous agreement of all political forces in the Cortes Generales within the framework of the National Security Strategy.[1]

CSN meetings are only held when convened by the Prime Minister.[1]
