The Damascus Revolutionary Military Council (Arabic: المجلس العسكري الثوري بدمشق), also called the Military Council of Damascus and its Suburbs (Arabic: المجلس العسكري في دمشق وريفها), was a Syrian rebel coalition affiliated with the Free Syrian Army created by Colonel Khaled Mohammed al-Hammud on 22 March 2012. It operated in the Damascus Governorate of Syria.

It claimed to be responsible for the suicide bombings at the General Staff Command of the Syrian Armed Forces in Damascus on 26 September 2012, but it is more likely that the al-Nusra Front was behind the attack.

It condemned Israel in a statement on 9 May 2013.
