List of high commissioners of the United Kingdom to Malta

The high commissioner of the United Kingdom to Malta is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative in the Republic of Malta, and head of the UK's diplomatic mission there.

As fellow members of the Commonwealth of Nations, the United Kingdom and Malta conduct their diplomatic relations at governmental level, rather than between heads of state. Therefore, they exchange high commissioners rather than ambassadors.
