The Federal Flood Commission (FFC) (Urdu: ماموریہِ وفاقی سیلاب) is an agency under the Ministry of Water Resources of the Government of Pakistan, responsible for the development and maintenance of flood protection and control systems in Pakistan.[1][2]

Before the Federal Flood Commission was established in 1977, the provincial governments of Pakistan were responsible for flood prevention. After the heavy floods of 1973 and 1976, the Federal Flood commission (FFC) was established to coordinate anti-flood measures on a nationwide scale.[1]
