The Ambassador from the United Kingdom to Belarus is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative in the Republic of Belarus, and in charge of the UK's diplomatic mission in Belarus. The official title is Her Britannic Majesty's Ambassador to the Republic of Belarus.
Initially, the ambassador to Belarus was based in Moscow, Russia. In 1993 an office was opened in Minsk, within the German embassy, and for over a year the British Embassy worked out of a single, cramped room with its locally engaged support staff working off a desk lodged beneath the staircase. In 1995, new premises were opened in a former geological laboratory, and are now shared between the British and Italian missions. Some staff, such as the Defence Attaché, are still based in Moscow for lack of suitable facilities in Belarus.
