王国国玺
一枚標明經英國君主同意之重要國書的印章
王国国玺（英语：Great Seal of the Realm，又称英国国玺，Great Seal of the United Kingdom；在《1707年联合法令》之前被称为英格兰国玺，Great Seal of England；在《1800年联合法令》之前则称为大不列颠国玺，Great Seal of Great Britain）为一枚标明经英国君主同意之重要国书的印章。
自从14世纪起，苏格兰就拥有自己的国玺。在涉及英格兰与苏格兰联合的《1707年联合法令》当中，启用了单一一枚联合王国的国玺[1]。然而，该法案也同样采用一枚独立的苏格兰玺印（该印章仍持续称之为苏格兰国玺，虽然技术上来说并非同一枚）。威尔士国玺则于2011年启用[2]。
