The ambassador of the Kingdom of England to France (French: l'ambassadeur anglais en France) was the foremost diplomatic representative of the historic Kingdom of England in France, before the creation of the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707.

The position was not a continuous one, and there was sometimes no diplomatic representation, due to wars between the two countries.
