Countries belonging to the Commonwealth of Nations typically exchange High Commissioners, rather than Ambassadors. Though there are a few technical differences, they are in practice one and the same office. The following persons have served as British High Commissioner to Pakistan.

In 1972, Pakistan left the Commonwealth and until it rejoined in 1989, the mission became an Embassy, headed by an Ambassador.
