The high commissioner of the United Kingdom to the Gabonese Republic is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative, and head of the UK's diplomatic mission, in Gabon. As the United Kingdom and Gabon are fellow members of the Commonwealth of Nations, their diplomatic relations are at governmental level, rather than between heads of state. Thus, the countries exchange high commissioners, rather than ambassadors.
