The National Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP; Tagalog: Sangguniáng Pambansâ ng mga Simbahan sa Pilipinas) is a fellowship of ten Protestant and non-Catholic churches in the Philippines denominations, and ten service-oriented organizations in the Philippines. A member of the World Council of Churches and the Christian Conference of Asia, the NCCP represents close to 3 million Protestant adherents in the Philippines according to the 2020 Philippine census, making it the fourth (4th) largest denomination in the country. Advocacy for environmental protection and against large-scale mining are part of its core mission. Christian organizations other than churches may be received as associate members.
