The Ambassador of Serbia to the United Kingdom is the official diplomatic representative of the Republic of Serbia to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The ambassador leads the Serbian diplomatic mission and is responsible for managing and strengthening the bilateral relations between the two countries. He/she is a non-resident ambassador to Ireland.

The diplomatic mission was first established in 1883 during the Kingdom of Serbia period, shortly after Serbia gained independence from the Ottoman Empire. The role has continued through various political transformations, including the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later renamed to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia), the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia (later renamed to the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia), the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (later renamed to the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro), and the modern Republic of Serbia.

Throughout the time, the post evolved from envoys to fully accredited ambassadors, mirroring the development of modern diplomatic protocols. Notably, during the 1990s, diplomatic representation was limited or suspended due to interruptions in diplomatic relations between Serbia and the United Kingdom at the time.
