The Leader of Reform UK (formerly the Brexit Party) is the most senior and highest position within Reform UK. The current holder is party founder Nigel Farage, who became leader on 3 June 2024, previously having served in the position from 2019 to 2021. The longest serving leader of the party was Richard Tice having served 3 years and 90 days. The shortest serving was Catherine Blaiklock who was leader for 62 days.

From 20 January to 22 March 2019, the office was first held by Catherine Blaiklock. She resigned as leader when it was disclosed that she had made anti-Islamic and racist statements online.[1] Blaiklock would leave the party in July 2019 and later joined the English Democrats in 2021.[2] On 22 March 2019 the current leader Nigel Farage took over, two days after Blaiklock's resignation.[3] Farage held the position until his retirement as a politician on 6 March 2021.[4] Following Farage's resignation his party chairman, Richard Tice, became leader.[5][6] Tice remained as leader until 3 June 2024 when he relinquished the position back to Farage who had announced his intention to stand as a candidate for MP in Clacton at the 2024 general election.[6] Tice would later become deputy leader in July 2024. Farage led the party into the general election which saw the party win 5 seats in the House of Commons one of which was Farage in Clacton.[7]
