The Jewish Leadership Council (previously known as the Jewish Community Leadership Council) is an organisation in the United Kingdom, founded in 2003, whose declared aim is to forward the interests of the organised Jewish community in Britain. The council was founded by its first chairman, then president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, Henry Grunwald, and a number of other senior UK Jewish leaders. The council acts as an umbrella group for various Jewish community organizations, charities, Zionist and pro-Israel advocacy groups.^[2]

The JLC represents the largest Jewish organisations in the UK, including synagogues, care organisations, education charities, regional Representative Councils and the Board of Deputies of British Jews.

From supporting the long-term aims of the community through data-led research to connecting members to each other, government and public institutions relevant to their work, the JLC works to build and maintain a thriving UK Jewish community. It works across the community regardless of religious, cultural, political affiliations or beliefs.^[3]
