List of ambassadors of the United Kingdom to Austria
(Redirected from List of Ambassadors of the United Kingdom to Austria)
The ambassador of the United Kingdom to Austria is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative in the Republic of Austria, and head of the UK's diplomatic mission in Vienna. The official title is His Britannic Majesty's Ambassador to the Republic of Austria.
For the ambassadors from the Court of St James's up to 1707, see the list of ambassadors of the Kingdom of England to the Holy Roman Emperor and for the period 1707 to 1800, see the list of ambassadors of Great Britain to the Holy Roman Emperor.
Since 2006 the ambassador to Austria has also been the permanent representative to the United Nations and other international organisations in Vienna including the IAEA. Before 2006, this was a separate post.
