List of High Commissioners of the United Kingdom to Sri Lanka

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 British High Commissioner to Sri Lanka doubles as the (non-resident) High Commissioner to the Maldives.

The following persons have served as British High Commissioner to Sri Lanka:

• David Gladstone (1987–91)
• Linda Duffield (1999–2002)
• Stephen Evans (2002–06)
• Peter Hayes (2008–11)
• John Rankin (2011–)
