France v United Kingdom [1953] ICJ 3 (also called the Minquiers and Ecrehos Case) was an International Court of Justice case concerning sovereignty over seas.

The United Kingdom and France requested the ICJ to determine the country that held sovereignty over the islets and rocks in the Minquiers and Ecrehos groups.

The United Kingdom claimed that Jersey had historically exercised legal and administrative jurisdiction over them.

Initially requested in 1951, the ICJ decided on 17 November 1951 that sovereignty over the islands belonged to the United Kingdom.
