The Great Britain men's national volleyball team is the team representing Great Britain in Olympic volleyball competitions. The Great Britain Volleyball programme team was resumed in 2006 following an agreement of the FIVB to permit the separate Home Nations of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to compete together for the 2012 Summer Olympics and 2012 Summer Paralympics.

For other volleyball competitions however, each Home Nation stands and is ranked independently. If any of those teams qualifies for the Olympics, then Team GB will qualify and the British Volleyball Federation will coordinate putting together a representative team.

Indoor The men's team were ranked 29th in the FIVB world ranking on 22 July 2013, but are currently unranked.
