El Campeonato de Gran Bretaña de ajedrez o Campeonato británico de ajedrez, lo organiza la Federación Inglesa de Ajedrez.
Se realiza un torneo separado para hombres y otro para mujeres. Desde 1923 también se celebra un campeonato británico de ajedrez juvenil y desde 1982 uno para mayores de sesenta años. La sede del campeonato suele cambiar cada año y se ha celebrado en diferentes lugares de Inglaterra, Escocia, Gales y en una ocasión en la Isla de Man. Sin embargo, aunque el campeonato se celebra anualmente desde 1904, nunca se ha celebrado en Irlanda del Norte.
