List of Ambassadors from the United Kingdom to Russia

The Ambassador of the United Kingdom to Russia is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative in the Russian Federation, and in charge of the UK's diplomatic mission in Russia. The official title is "Her Britannic Majesty's Ambassador to the Russian Federation".

Between 1844 and 1860 the status of the head of mission in Saint Petersburg was reduced from Ambassador to Envoy Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary. The capital of Russia, and later the Soviet Union (from 1922 to 1991), was moved to Moscow in 1918.
