The ambassador of the United Kingdom to Mali is the head of the United Kingdom's diplomatic mission in the Republic of Mali.
Mali gained independence from France in 1960. British ambassadors have been resident in Mali only from 1961 until 1965 and since 2012; from 1969 to 2012 the ambassador to Senegal was also accredited to Mali.
The British ambassador to Mali was also accredited to the Republic of Niger until 2020 when a resident Ambassador in Niger was established. [1]
The Heads of British diplomatic missions are persons appointed as senior diplomats to individual nations, or international organisations. They are usually appointed as ambassadors, except in member countries of the Commonwealth of Nations where a high commissioner is appointed. The head of mission to an international organisation is usually a permanent representative. For some nations a consul or consul-general is appointed.
