# List of British champions in 200 metres

The British 200 metres athletics champions covers three competitions; the current British Athletics Championships which was founded in 2007, the preceding AAA Championships which existed until 2006 and the UK Athletics Championships which existed from 1977 until 1997 and ran concurrently with the AAA Championships.
The AAA Championships were open to international athletes but were not considered the National Champion in this list if they won the relevant Championship.
