List of High Commissioners of the United Kingdom to Kenya
The High Commissioner of the United Kingdom to Kenya is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative in the Republic of Kenya, and in charge of the UK's diplomatic mission in Kenya.
As fellow members of the Commonwealth of Nations, the United Kingdom and Kenya conduct their diplomatic relations at governmental level, rather than between Heads of State. Therefore, the countries exchange High Commissioners rather than ambassadors.
