The British Institute Professional Photography (BIPP) is a not-for-profit organisation, which fills the role of qualifying body for professional photographers in the United Kingdom. Members must be qualified professionals, and agree to bound by the BIPP's code of conduct.

The institute was formed as The Professional Photographers' Association on 28 March 1901, at a meeting at a hotel in Fleet Street, and has since changed its name three times. From 100 members at its outset, the institute now has 3,500 members. It aims to "bring attention to issues that affect our photographers, ... ensure that professional photographers cannot be ignored and [ensure] that our industry has a positive future."
