'''Bulgarian–British relations''' are foreign relations between [[Bulgaria]] and the [[United Kingdom]]. Both countries established diplomatic relations in July 1879 as Bulgaria achieved its independence from the Ottoman Empire. The two nations were enemies during the First World War, most of the Second World War, and the Cold War.<ref>Glenn Leonard, "Economics, Diplomacy, and War: Britain and Bulgaria, 1936–38," ''Canadian Journal of History'' (2012) 47#3 pp 597–622.</ref>
Both countries are full members of [[NATO]] and [[Council of Europe]]. the United Kingdom gave full support to Bulgaria's applications for membership in the [[European Union]] and [[NATO]].
