The British Arctic Territories were a constituent region of British North America, composed of islands to the north of continental North America. They are now known as the Arctic Archipelago. The British claim to the area was based on the discoveries of Martin Frobisher (1535–1594) in the 16th century. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland passed control of the islands to Canada in 1880 by means of an imperial order in council, the Adjacent Territories Order, under the royal prerogative. That was made out of fear of the United States' interest in the area as part of the Monroe Doctrine.

rdfs:comment	Les territoires arctiques britanniques (anglais : British Arctic Territories) furent des possessions territoriales britanniques dans l'actuel Archipel arctique canadien du XVIe siècle jusqu'en 1880. Durant trois siècles, ces terres ne furent que revendiquées et aucunement administrées. À l'intérieur du Canada, les îles arctiques furent intégrées aux Territoires du Nord-Ouest. Depuis 1999, la majorité du territoire fait partie du Nunavut.
