A United Nations referendum was held in British Cameroons on 11 February 1961 to determine whether the territory should join neighbouring Cameroon or Nigeria. This followed an earlier plebiscite in Northern Cameroon in 1959 which voted to postpone a decision. The option of independence was not on the ballot, having been opposed by Andrew Cohen, the UK representative to the UN Trusteeship Council, as well as African and anti-colonial delegations, notably by E. M. L. Endeley, who favoured integration with Nigeria, and John Ngu Foncha, who favoured (eventual) reunification with Francophone Cameroon.

Плебисцит проводился по двум территориям: Северному и Южному Камеруну. По итогам референдума Северный Камерун официально стал частью Нигерии 1 июня, в то время как Южный Камерун стал частью Федеративной Республики Камерун 1 октября. (ru)
