La BBC, en forme longue British Broadcasting Corporation (litt. « Société de radiodiffusion britannique »), est un radiodiffuseur britannique de service public fondé en 1922 , dont le siège est situé à la Broadcasting House de Westminster, à Londres. C'est le plus ancien radiodiffuseur national du monde. Ayant son siège au Royaume-Uni , c’est un non-departmental public body (équivalent d’une autorité administrative indépendante) chargé des médias. La BBC bénéficie d’une réputation d’excellence culturelle, et est parfois affectueusement appelée « The Beeb » ou « Auntie » (langage enfantin pour tante, « tantine ») par les Britanniques. Pendant longtemps, elle est restée la seule société diffusant des programmes de télévision et de radio au Royaume-Uni. C’est la plus importante société de diffusion au monde en matière de revenu brut et de téléspectateurs. Avant la venue de ITV (Independent Television) en 1955 et des radios locales privées dans les années 1970, elle détenait le monopole de diffusion.
