The Russian Council of Muftis (Russian: Совет муфтиев России) is a religious group representing the Muslim community of Russia. It was founded on 2 July 1996.[1] The Chairman of the Council is the spiritual leader of the Muslims of Russia.[2]

The Council is responsible for allocating the slots for the Hajj assigned to Russia.[3] In 2012, it demanded a rise in the number of mosques in Moscow, saying they should at least double.[4]
