American Friends of the British National Party

American Friends of the British National Party (sometimes abbreviated as AFBNP) was a political activist group founded by British far-right expatriate Mark Cotterill in January 1999 that facilitated financial assistance for the British National Party (BNP) from American supporters. It also fostered links between far-right groups and individuals in the United States and the United Kingdom. According to BNP Chairman Nick Griffin, the group made a "significant contribution to the BNP's [2001] general election campaign".

It operated from a small apartment in Falls Church, Virginia for much of its history. Griffin and party figure Richard Barnbrook attended meetings to give support and to connect with American far-right activists. In an April 2000 seminar in Texas, Griffin met with David Duke, Samuel T. Francis, Kirk Lyons, chairman of Southern Legal Resource Center and Roy Armstrong, a member of the National Democratic Party of Germany. He gave a speech in which he said:

The BNP isn't about selling out its ideas, which are your ideas too, but we are determined to sell them. Basically, that means to use saleable words – such as freedom, identity, security, democracy. [...]

Once we're in a position where we control the British broadcasting media, then perhaps one day the British people might change their mind and say, 'yes, every last one must go'. But if you hold that out as your sole aim to start with, you're not going to get anywhere. So, instead of talking about racial purity, we talk about identity. [...]

He met with white nationalist Don Black in another meeting.
