Armada Pasifik Britania (Inggris: British Pacific Fleet/BPF) merupakan formasi militer Angkatan Laut Britania Raya yang melancarkan aksi terhadap Kekaisaran Jepang selama Perang Dunia II. Armada tersebut terdiri atas kapal laut Persemakmuran. Secara resmi, Armada Pasifik Britania dibentuk pada tanggal 22 November 1944 dari sisa-sisa kapal Armada Timur yang kemudian dinamai ulang sebagai Armada Hindia Timur yang terus bermarkas di Tirukōṇamalai.[1] Markas utama Armada Pasifik Britania ada di Sydney, Australia, dengan markas muka di Pulau Manus. Sebagai salah satu armada terbesar yang pernah disusun oleh AL Britania Raya, dari Hari Kemenangan atas Jepang, armada tersebut terdiri atas 200 kapal dan kapal selam dan lebih dari 750 pesawat, termasuk 4 kapal tempur dan 6 kapal induk armada, 15 kapal pembawa pesawat kecil, 11 kapal penjelajah, dan sejumlah kapal perang, kapal selam, dan kapal pendukung yang lebih kecil. Armada tersebut ikut serta dalam Pertempuran Okinawa dan penyerangan laut terakhir atas Jepang.
