The British Fusilier is a character appearing within the LEGO Minifigures theme, specifically the historical Collectable Minifigures Series 5. He is depicted as a soldier from the Napoleonic Wars, instantly recognizable by his red coat, tall bearskin hat, and musket.

His design is reminiscent of the British infantry of the early 19th century, a period defined by major conflicts such as the Napoleonic Wars. The inclusion of details like his white crossbelts and bayonet holster, all molded in LEGO form, contribute to the minifigure's historical accuracy, albeit in a stylized, child-friendly manner.

First appearing in 2011 as part of the broader Series 5 collection, the British Fusilier offers LEGO enthusiasts a chance to build dioramas or scenarios depicting historical battles or scenes, sparking imagination and potentially sparking interest in history. He is a collectable figure of interest to many.
