The Peaceful Unification Advisory Council (Korean: 민주평화통일자문회의; Hanja: 民主平和統一諮問會議) is the constitutional organization, established in accordance with the Article 92 of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea and the National Unification Advisory Council Act (Korea) to advise the President of South Korea on the formulation of peaceful unification policy. This had been organized in October 1980.

The Chairperson of the Council is the President of South Korea and the Executive Vice-Chairperson is a minister-levelled officer.

Upon the inauguration of the new executive vice-person, the organisation changed its English name from NUAC to PUAC, The Peaceful Unification Advisory Council.

In 2017, the 18th National Unification Advisory Council was launched.
