The National Council of the Sahara Democratic Arab Republic ( Arabic المجلس الوطني الصحراوي, DMG al-Maǧlis al-Waṭanī aṣ-Ṣaḥrāwī , Spanish Consejo Nacional Saharaui ) is a unicameral parliament with 52 members and the legislative authority in the Democratic Arab Republic of Sahara (DARS).

As the last Spanish troops, the Spanish Sahara had left, was on 27 February 1976 by the Polisario Front , the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic in the field of Western Sahara was proclaimed and the National Council formed on November 28, 1975 as the interim parliament was the Parliament of DARS.

At the third General People's Congress of the Polisario, in August 1976, the first constitution of the DARS was adopted and the first elected National Council was formally formed.

Because of the Moroccan occupation of Western Sahara since the end of 1975, the government ( government in exile ) of the DARS is in the Algerian province of Tindūf , where most of the Saharawi refugees live. For some years now, however, the seat of the National Council has been the provisional capital Tifariti in the area of ​​the liberated eastern Western Sahara.

According to the constitution, the current one-party system of the Polisario should automatically end after the Saharawi liberation of Western Sahara.
