Below is a list of diplomats from the United Kingdom to Iran. Formal diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and Iran (originally Persia) began in 1807 after failed attempts at relations by the Muscovy Company, then later the formation of trade links by the East India Company beginning in the early 17th century.
