The Philippine Council for Industry and Energy Research and Development (PCIERD) is one of the sectoral planning councils of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). It is mandated to serve as the central agency in the planning, monitoring and promotion of scientific and technological research for applications in the industry, energy, utilities and infrastructure sectors. It has the authority to set and specify research and development (R&D) goals and priorities and rationalize the allocation of available resources for its delineated sectors.

PCIERD was created as part of the reorganized National Science and Technology Authority (NSTA) on 17 March 1982 through Executive Order no 784. Then, on 30 January 1987, President Corazon C. Aquino issued Executive Order No. 128 reorganizing NSTA into the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) to make it more effective and responsive to the scientific and technological needs of the country.
