The UK number 1 in men's tennis is the male tennis player representing the United Kingdom who has the highest ATP ranking.

The ATP Rankings are the Association of Tennis Professionals' (ATP) merit-based method for determining the rankings in men's tennis. The top-ranked British player is the player representing the United Kingdom who, over the previous 52 weeks, has garnered the most ranking points on the ATP Tour. Points are awarded based on how far a player advances in tournaments and the category of those tournaments. The ATP has used a computerized system for determining the rankings since August 23, 1973.[1] Starting in 1979, an updated rankings list is released at the beginning of each week.[2]

Cameron Norrie, currently the British No. 1 in men's singles.
Joe Salisbury, currently the British No. 1 in men's doubles.

Since 1973, 17 men have been ranked as the British No. 1 singles player by the ATP, only Andy Murray has been consecutively ranked as the world and British number one. The current British number one singles player is Dan Evans.
