Breakthrough Brits is a programme to honour some of Britain's best new creatives in film, television, and gaming. The programme was originally run by the now shuttered UK Film Council.{{cite web|url=http://www.ukfilmcouncil.org.uk/breakthrough|title=Breakthrough Brits|publisher=UK Film Council|accessdate=2009-11-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100122150249/http://www.ukfilmcouncil.org.uk/breakthrough|archive-date=2010-01-22|url-status=dead}} It was then launched under BAFTA in 2013. There are also international categories under BAFTA Breakthrough.
The program was designed to celebrate the new British film-making talent. The 2008 programme ended in a special event in Los Angeles, compered by Nigel Lythgoe, on 5 June where honourees were presented to an audience of Hollywood industry figures.{{Cite web |last=Horst |first=Carole |date=2008-06-12 |title=Brits hit it big in Hollywood |url=https://variety.com/2008/scene/vpage/brits-hit-it-big-in-hollywood-1117987331/ |access-date=2025-05-08 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}
