Get Britain Out was a United Kingdom-based independent cross-party grassroots Eurosceptic group formed in 2012 which campaigned for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union (EU). The campaign continued in operation through both the EU membership referendum in 2016 and Brexit in 2020, arguing for the UK to break away from continued alignment with the EU. It was dissolved in 2025.[1]
There was also a 1970s organisation with the same name a similar objective, known for its publicity stunts in the run up to the 1975 United Kingdom European Communities membership referendum.[2]
