The Philippine Councilors League (PCL; Filipino: Liga ng mga Konsehal ng Pilipinas) is an official organization in the Philippines composed of all elected, appointed, and ex officio members of legislative councils in the cities and municipalities of the country.
The presidents of the PCL's provincial chapters are ex officio members of their province's legislature (Sangguniang Panlalawigan).

In 1991, the Local Government Code established that each provincial legislature would allocate one seat for the president of the province's PCL chapter.
