List of High Commissioners of the United Kingdom to Sri Lanka

Last updated

The following persons have served as British High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, previously known as Ceylon. 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. Since 1965 when the Maldives were granted independence from the United Kingdom, the British High Commissioner to Sri Lanka has doubled as the (non-resident) British High Commissioner to the Maldives (from 1982 to 2016, and since 1 February 2020) and as the British Ambassador to the Maldives (1965 to 1982, and October 2016 to 2020).
