The Shields of the Revolution Council (Arabic: هيئة دروع الثورة‎‎, Hayat Duru al-Thawra) is a Syrian FSA-rebel alliance affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood of Syria. President Bashar al-Assad has labeled the Syrian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood as an extremist “terror” group. It joined the Syrian Revolutionary Command Council on 3 August 2014.

In March 2014, the Fatiheen Brigade, Eman Brigade and Sihem al-Haq Brigade, previously affiliated with the Shields, split from the group and joined the newly formed Sham Legion alliance.
