The Centre for Defence and International Security Studies (or CDiSS) is a British defence and security think tank.^[1] CDiSS is engaged in research, analysis, commentary and discussion on issues of significance within the broad context of international security.

Its members also contribute to journals. Membership of CDiSS includes those with a background in academia, industry, the armed forces, non-governmental organisations, government and the media.
