The Agricultural and Food Research Council (AFRC), was a British Research Council responsible for funding and managing scientific and technological developments in farming and horticulture.

The AFRC was formed in 1983 from its predecessor, the Agricultural Research Council (ARC). It was replaced by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) as a result of government reorganisation in 1994.
