The List of British athletics champions (outdoors) covers four different competitions:

• the current British Athletics Championships, referred to as the UK Athletics Championships since 2023, which was founded in 2007,^[1]
• the preceding AAA Championships which existed from 1880 until 2006,
• the Amateur Athletic Club Championships (1866-1879) and
• the original UK Athletics Championships which existed from 1977 until 1997 and ran concurrently with the AAA Championships.^[2]

During the period of overlap between the AAA Championships and the original UK Athletics Championships, the former was regarded by statisticians as the principle national championship, despite the presence of foreign guest athletes. Champions in the latter event are, however, were also recognised as national champions in their own right.
