Finland–United Kingdom relations (also known as Anglo-Finnish relations or British-Finnish relations) (Finnish: Suomen ja Yhdistyneen kuningaskunnan suhteet or Britannian ja Suomen suhteet) are the bilateral relations between Finland and the United Kingdom.

Both countries share common membership of the Council of Europe, the European Court of Human Rights, the International Criminal Court, the Joint Expeditionary Force, NATO, OECD, and Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe. Bilaterally the two countries have a mutual defence agreement, and a strategic partnership agreement. The United Kingdom recognised the independence of Finland on 6 May 1919. Diplomatic relations had been established earlier, on 28 March 1918.
