Colombia–United Kingdom relations are the bilateral and diplomatic relations between Colombia and the United Kingdom. Columbian-Anglo relations begin in 1810, and stem from the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 and the service of the British Legions who helped Colombia to win independence through Simón Bolívar's campaign to liberate New Granada in 1819–1820. However the first known Englishperson to have traveled to modern day Colombia was Sir Walter Raleigh in 1595.
