Egyptian British people, or Egyptian Britons ( _ar. مصريّون بريطانيون) are people of Egyptian ancestry who are citizens of the United Kingdom.

According to the 2001 UK Census (which now is almost certainly an underestimate of true numbersFact|date=September 2008), some 147,102 Egyptians were calling the UK home, making the Egyptian British community the second largest in the West, only behind the Egyptian American community.

Despite not being a British citizen, the Egyptian businessman Mohamed Al-Fayed is well known throughout the United Kingdom, both for his business holdings as the owner of Harrod's and Fulham F.C., and his somewhat combative nature with certain members of the British establishment.
