British School of Archaeology in Egypt (BSAE), was an organisation established in 1905 as initiative by Flinders Petrie, Edwards Professor of Egyptian Archaeology and Philology at University College London. It lasted until 1954.

It had the following objectives: To conduct excavations and pay all expences [sic] incidental thereto. To discover and acquire antiquities and to distribute the same to public museums. To publish works. To hold exhibitions. To promote the training and assistance of students.

The organisation adopted the principles of the Egyptian Exploration Fund as regards the distribution of archaeological finds amongst supporting museums: "Antiquities not claimed by the Egyptian Government shall be divided entirely among public museums, excepting large numbers of similar objects which may be given to the subscribers. In distribution to Museums the total of contributions from any place or district shall be taken into account, after deducting from those amounts one guinea for each volume of publication given on account of those contributions."
