Britská Amerika (anglicky British America) se skládala z koloniálních území Britského impéria v Severní Americe, Bermudách, Střední Americe, Karibiku a Guyaně v letech 1607 až 1783. Americké kolonie byly do roku 1776 formálně známy také jako Britská Amerika a Britská Západní Indie (anglicky British America and the British West Indies), kdy Třináct kolonií vyhlásilo nezávislost a následně jí vybojovalo v americké válce za nezávislost (1775–1783) jako nově utvořené Spojené státy americké. Ty britské kolonie, které zůstaly součástí Britského impéria po ukončení americké války za nezávislost, dostaly název Britská Severní Amerika.

Version 3.0 of the Grand Union flag (aka Continental Colors). This version rewritten from scratch using a text-editor; with colors from File:Flag of the United States.svg. Previous text: image was created using an image of the pre-1801 Union flag and the SVG of the Betsy Ross flag. The colors are based on information from here. I hope St. George's cross looks straight now.
