The term 'Brexit' is a combination of BRitain and EXIT, meaning the exit of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU).
A referendum on the issue was held in the UK on 23 June 2016.

Depending on the context, 'Brexit' may refer to any or all of:
- The decision for the UK to leave the EU.
- The subsequent exit itself, on 31 January 2020.
- The consequences, and potential consequences, both of the decision and of the exit itself.
- The end of the Brexit transition period, on 31 December 2020.
- Less commonly, the referendum result, or the referendum date of 23 June 2016.
