Sport England (formerly the English Sports Council) is the body responsible for distributing funds and providing strategic guidance for sporting activity in England. This funding comes from both the Treasury and the National Lottery. Since 1994, it has invested over £2bn of Lottery funds and £300 million from the Exchequer into sports in England.

The chair of Sport England is Lord Patrick Carter , while former athlete Tessa Sanderson is vice-chair.

Sport England is split into nine Regional Sports Boards (RSBs) which are responsible for working with local governments, businesses and clubs.
