The British Council is a British organisation specialising in international cultural and educational opportunities.

The organisation has been called a soft power extension of UK foreign policy,[4][5] as well as a tool for propaganda.[6]

The British Council is governed by a Royal Charter. It is also a public corporation and an executive nondepartmental public body (NDPB), sponsored by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. Its headquarters are in Stratford, London. Its Chairman is Stevie Spring[7] and its Chief Executive is Scott McDonald.
