This is a list of current members of Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, along with the roles they fulfil and the date when they were sworn of the Council. Throughout this article, the prefix "The Rt Hon" is omitted, because every Counsellor bears it, as is the postnominal "PC", as every Counsellor who is also a peer uses it.

The Council includes a very few members of the Royal Family (the consort and heir apparent only), a few dozen judges (the Lords of Appeal in Ordinary, the Senior Judges of England and Wales, and the Senators of the College of Justice in Scotland) and a few clergy (the three most senior Lords Bishop in the Church of England). Besides these, the council is composed of politicians (be they from the British government, other parties, or Commonwealth governments) and civil servants, both current and previous (since membership is for life). Among those politicians generally sworn of the council are Ministers of the Crown, the few most senior figures of the Loyal Opposition, the Leader of the "third party", and a couple of the most senior figures in the devolved British governments, including the First Ministers.
