The British American Business Council Northern California is an international affairs organization based in San Francisco, Northern California. Founded in 1954 as the British American Trade Center, it operates as a bilateral trade association for UK-US business interests in the region, reflecting a significant cross-border footprint in the Bay Area where over 200 UK companies have established operations and more than 350 US companies headquartered there have offices or subsidiaries in the United Kingdom. The council arranges events and collaborates with other Bay Area organizations to provide networking opportunities for its members.

It maintains formal links with the British Consulate-General in San Francisco, notably the UK Trade & Investment section, and its board comprises leaders from professional, financial, service and technology sectors with cross-border experience. Membership is open to individuals and corporate entities, offering access to a network and knowledge base that supports bilateral trade. A recent development is a partnership announced in March 2026 with the Confederation of British Industry to promote U.S.–UK business relationships and opportunities.
