This list ranks singles by British artists that were hits in the United States during the designated "British Invasion" era between 1958, when rock artists from the British isles (England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland) began springing up and a few gained popularity outside the U.K., and mid-1967, when the invasion's '64-through-'66 peak had passed and the music entered a new phase marked by The Beatles' album Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. Rankings are based on the popularity of each song during this period.

The Beatles predictably lead the list with 20 entries, half of them in the top 30. Herman's Hermits make a strong showing with nine, followed by The Rolling Stones and The Dave Clark Five with eight apiece. Petula Clark, with four songs, leads a disappointingly small sampling of female artists.
