List of ambassadors of the United Kingdom to Senegal

The ambassador of the United Kingdom to Senegal is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative in the Republic of Senegal.

Senegal was under French influence in the 19th century, and from 1895 was included in the colonial federation of French West Africa. The early representatives of the UK government were unpaid Frenchmen; the first British official arrived in 1894.^[1] Senegal gained independence from France in 1960.
