Legislative Affairs Office (法制办公室) was an administrative office within the State Council of the People's Republic of China which assisted the premier in providing legal advice and administrative laws to govern the behaviour of government departments.

This included litigation, legal reconsideration, compensation, punishment, license, administrative charges and execution.

[1][2] The office was managed by a director who ranks at the same level as a cabinet minister.

The administrative office was originally established as the Bureau of Legislative Affairs of the state council in 1954.

[3] In 1986, the General Office was abolished and the two sub-agencies reporting to it were merged to form the Bureau of Legislative Affairs under the State Council.
