The high commissioner of the United Kingdom to Uganda is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative in the Republic of Uganda, and head of the UK's diplomatic mission in Uganda.
They work primarily from the British High Commission Kampala.
As fellow members of the Commonwealth of Nations, the United Kingdom and Uganda conduct their diplomatic relations at governmental level, rather than between heads of state. Therefore, the countries exchange high commissioners, rather than ambassadors.
