The Better Regulation Executive is a part of the British Department for Business and Trade.

It is in charge of regulatory reform across the British Government. A forerunner of the Executive was the Better Regulation Commission.

The Better Regulation Executive (BRE) was created in 2005 to lead the regulatory reform agenda across the UK Government by working to reduce and remove unnecessary regulation for the public, private and voluntary sectors.^[1]

In July 2007 the BRE moved from the Cabinet Office to become part of the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR), and then its successor, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), and then its successor, the Department of Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).^[1] It became part of the Department of Business and Trade (DBT) in 2023.
