Chinese-United Kingdom relations (simplified Chinese: 中英关系; traditional Chinese: 中英關係; pinyin: Zhōng-Yīng guānxì), more commonly known as British–Chinese relations, Anglo-Chinese relations and Sino-British relations, refers to the interstate relations between China (with its various governments through history) and the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom and the People's Republic of China were on opposing sides of the Cold War, while the Republic of China and the United Kingdom were allies during World War I and World War II. Both countries are permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.

Leaders of China and the United Kingdom from 1940
Rabban Bar Sauma from China visited France and met with King Edward I of England in Gascony.
William of Rubruck encountered an English bishop's nephew in the Mongol city of Karakorum.
The United Kingdom and the anti-Communist Nationalist Chinese government were allies during World War II. Britain sought stability in China after the war to protect its more than £300 million in investments, much more than from the United States. It agreed in the Moscow Agreement of 1945 to not interfere in Chinese affairs but sympathised with the Nationalists, who until 1947 were winning the Chinese Civil War against the Communist Party of China.
