List of coal mines in the United Kingdom

This is a list of coal mines in the United Kingdom, sorted between those operating in the 21st century and those closed earlier.

The last operating deep coal mine in the United Kingdom, Kellingley colliery in North Yorkshire, closed in December 2015. After 2015, most continuing coal mines were collieries owned by freeminers, or open pit mines of which there were 26 in 2014. However, since December 2023 -with the closure of Ffos-y-fran- no major opencast coal mine operates. The largest mine is Aberpergwm, which is a drift mine. For example, in January 2024 the production of all opencast mines were around 1,000 tonnes while Aberpergwm (and other underground mines) produced around 7,000 tonnes.
