The high commissioner for the Western Pacific was the chief executive officer of the British Western Pacific Territories, a British colonial entity, which existed from 1877 until 1976.

[1] The office of high commissioner never existed independently, but was always filled ex officio by the Governor of one of the constitutive British islands colonies.

From 1 January 1953 to 1976, when the office was abolished, the governor of the Solomon Islands doubled as high commissioner.

On 1 January 1972, the Gilbert and Ellice Islands were taken off with their own governor.

On 2 January 1976 after nearly all had been given separate statehood, the office of high commissioner and the entity of the Pacific Territories were abolished.
