The British Salonika Army was a field army of the British Army during World War I.

The Army was formed in Salonika under Lieutenant General Bryan Mahon to oppose Bulgarian advances in the region as part of the Macedonian Front. The army arrived in Salonika (along with French troops) on 15 October 1915. In May 1916 Lieutenant General George Milne replaced Bryan Mahon as commander of the Army. It eventually comprised two corps and remained in place until 1921. The dead of the British Salonika Army are commemorated by the Doiran Memorial.
