The Brit Award for British Urban Act was an award given by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), an organisation which represents record companies and artists in the United Kingdom.[1] The accolade was presented at the Brit Awards, an annual celebration of British and international music.[2] The winners and nominees were determined by the Brit Awards voting academy with over one-thousand members comprising record labels, publishers, managers, agents, media, and previous winners and nominees.[3] The award was first presented at the 2003 Brit Awards and last presented in 2006.

In 2021, it was announced that the category had been revived and renamed Best British Hip Hop/Rap/Grime Act following the removal of gendered categories. This new iteration of the award will first be presented at the 42nd Brit Awards.[4]
