The House of Councillors (Arabic: مجلس المستشارين [maʒlis al-mustaʃaːriːn], Standard Moroccan Tamazight: ⴰⵙⵇⵇⵉⵎ ⵏ ⵉⵏⵙⴼⴰⵡⵏ, romanized: Asqqim n Insfawn) is the upper house of the Parliament of Morocco and has 120 members, elected for a six-year term:
- 72 members are elected at the Kingdom's regional level - they represent the regions and the subnational administrative areas (French: collectivités territoriales)
- 20 members are elected in the regions by a single electoral college made up of all those in the relevant region that have been elected to the following professional associations:
- the agriculture associations
- the commerce, industry and services associations
- the arts-and-crafts associations
- the marine-fisheries associations
- 8 members are elected nationally by an electoral college made up of those elected from the most representative employers' professional organizations

The 2011 Constitution of Morocco retained this second chamber, but reduced its term of office from 9 to 6 years and its size to 120 seats.
