List of ambassadors of the United Kingdom to Honduras

The Ambassador of the United Kingdom to Honduras is the United Kingdom's foremost Diplomatic representative to the Republic of Honduras.

Until 1945 the UK head of mission in Guatemala was also accredited to Honduras. An embassy was then opened in Tegucigalpa but it was closed in 2003 and from then until 2015 the British ambassadors to Guatemala were again accredited also to Honduras.[1][2] From 2015 there is a dedicated British ambassador to Honduras, but still resident in Guatemala City and married to the ambassador to Guatemala.
