Worldwide Cancer Research is a UK-based nonprofit that funds discovery-stage cancer research with the aim of initiating new cures for any cancer type, anywhere in the world. It currently backs more than 100 projects with a collective budget of about £20 million, seeking to advance prevention and more effective, kinder treatments for patients. The organization was founded in 1979 and is headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland, operating within the non-profit sector.

Its work centers on supporting researchers worldwide at early stages of inquiry, rather than funding established therapies, to accelerate promising ideas into potential breakthroughs. In 2026, Laura Brady was appointed Chief Executive Officer, reflecting ongoing leadership of the charity.
