List of British university Chancellors and Vice-Chancellors

This is a list of the Chancellors, Vice-Chancellors and Visitors of Universities in the United Kingdom. In most cases, the Chancellor is a ceremonial head, while the Vice-Chancellor is chief academic officer and chief executive. In Scotland, the Principal is the chief executive and is usually ex-officio Vice-Chancellor, which is a purely titular position.
