The High Commissioner of the United Kingdom to Zambia is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative in the Republic of Zambia, and head of the UK's diplomatic mission in Lusaka.
As fellow members of the Commonwealth of Nations, the United Kingdom and Zambia conduct their diplomatic relations at governmental level, rather than between heads of state. Therefore, the countries exchange high commissioners, rather than ambassadors.
