Council of Ambassadors was an intergovernmental agency, founded in 1919 by decision of the states of the Entente. The Council was to implement the provision of the Treaty of Versailles. It comprised the ambassadors of the United Kingdom, Italy, and Japan in Paris and was chaired by foreign minister of France (among them Georges Clemenceau, Raymond Poincaré, Aristide Briand). The ambassador of the USA in France had only observer status in the council.

Because the League of Nations was not able to resolve many of the conflicts surfaced in the post-war Europe, in its policy the Council of Ambassadors actually strengthened the international influence of France and the United Kingdom. The Council of Ambassadors functioned until 1931.
