The Ambassador of the United Kingdom to Liberia is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative in the Republic of Liberia.

Liberia has been an independent state since 1847, but until 1946 the UK mission was only at the level of Consul or Consul-General. From 1991 to 2003 the British Ambassador to Ivory Coast was non-resident ambassador to Liberia, and from 2003 to 2013 the British High Commissioner to Sierra Leone was non-resident ambassador. From 2013 the UK again has a resident ambassador at Monrovia.^[1]
