The British Educational Research Association (BERA) is a member-led charity to encourage educational research and its application. It was founded in 1974.

BERA holds conferences, publishes research, and pays for research.[1] The association is open to researchers from any discipline.[1] Their publications have become a well-known fixture for educational research and provide an interdisciplinary approach that includes: "reports of experiments and surveys, discussions of conceptual and methodological issues and of underlying assumptions in educational research, accounts of research in progress, and book reviews."[2]

It is governed by an elected council, with its president serving a two-year term. It is run daily by a permanent office staff headed by Nick Johnson.
