The Economic Planning Advisory Commission (Economic Planning and Advisory Council until 1994) was a commission formed by the Australian government in 1983 with the goal of investigating medium and long-term economic and social issues, and providing advice to the government on these matters. The council was formed in response to the WA Inc scandal a few years prior. In 1998 with the passing of the Productivity Commission Act 1998 the bureau was merged with the Industry Commission, and the Bureau of Industry Economics to create the Productivity Commission.

Members of the commission included the Australian Council of Social Service and Treasurer Ralph Willis. The commission consisted of eight people.
