Students for Britain was a campaign group, affiliated with the Vote Leave campaign, which argued that Britain would be better off outside the EU. The organisation stressed the cost of the EU, barriers to trade with the rest of the world and how undemocratic and remote the EU is in their view. The campaign has been described by Sunday Times Political Editor Tim Shipman as Vote Leave's 'militant wing'.

The campaign said it was active in "over 50 universities", and was involved in a protest during the CBI's 2015 conference, whereby two members of the organisation heckled the British prime minister David Cameron, holding a sign that read "CBI = voice of Brussels". The students gained access to the conference by creating a fake company.

The campaign rivalled Students for Europe, which argued for a 'remain' vote and was a part of the European Movement.

The campaign closed down after the June 2016 referendum for Britain to leave the EU.
