British Arabs (Arabic: عرب بريطانيا) are British citizens of Arab descent. They share a common Arab ethnicity, culture, language and identity from different Arab countries. Arabs also come from non-Arab countries as ethnic minorities (e.g. Khuzestani Arabs).

The majority of British Arabs reside in the British capital of London, and have come largely from the Arab countries of Iraq, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon, and the Gulf States.[4]
