The Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA; Arabic: المجلس الأعلى للآثار, romanized: al-Majlis al-Aʻlá lil-Āthār) was a department of the Egyptian Ministry of Culture from 1994 to 2011. It was the government body responsible for the conservation, protection and regulation of all antiquities and archaeological excavations in Egypt, and was a reorganization of the Egyptian Antiquities Organisation, under Presidential Decree No. 82 of Hosni Mubarak.[1]

In January 2011, it became an independent ministry: the Ministry of State for Antiquities (MSA).[1]

The first government body was the Department of Antiquities, established in 1858. This became the Egyptian Antiquities Organisation in 1971.[2][3]
