'''British Sri Lankan Tamil''' (பிரித்தானியத் இலங்கை தமிழர்) refers to a demographic construct concerning British citizens and residents who descend from Tamils on the island of Sri Lanka, and it's notable that the definition frequently excludes those on the island that have been segregated into other groups, namely [[Sri Lankan Moors|Moors]] and [[Indian Tamils of Sri Lanka|Hill Tamils]]. <ref>{{Cite book|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=__6PDx2CyLkC|title=Postcolonial Insecurities: India, Sri Lanka, and the Question of Nationhood|last=Krishna|first=Sankaran|date=1999|publisher=U of Minnesota Press|isbn=9781452903873|language=en}}</ref>

The United Kingdom is home to the largest population of Sri Lankan Tamils in Europe, albeit only by a narrow margin, and it is among the most populous communities of Sri Lankan Tamils worldwide. An estimate by the Financial Times placed the number of Sri Lankan Tamils in the UK at just under 200,000.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/39baad52-b92c-11de-98ee-00144feab49a.html|title=Subscribe to read|website=Financial Times|access-date=2017-07-20}}</ref>

Sri Lankan Tamils can be part of several other larger demographic groups and therefore many Tamils will not identify as "Sri Lankan Tamil". These include: [[British Tamil]], [[British Sri Lankans|British Sri Lankan]], [[British Indian]] and British Asian. There are fluid connections between British Sri Lankans and British Indians, particularly along [[Tamil language|ethnolingustic]] and [[Hinduism|ethnoreligious]] lines.
