Anglocentrism is an ethnocentric tendency that favors an Anglo-Saxon or Anglophone perspective over all others. It has been noted in academia, language, politics and various other fields.

Historically, the phenomenon stems from the British Empire's extensive influence and the global spread of the English language.
