The Medical Household is the medical part of the Royal Household of the Sovereign of the United Kingdom.

It mainly comprises a range of Physicians and Surgeons to the Sovereign and to the Royal Household. None have more than a nominal or occasional role, although the Apothecaries to the Household at Windsor and London hold daily surgeries, and other apothecaries receive smaller salaries and all others receive only an honorarium.

The Coroner to the King/Queen's household investigates deaths within royal residences, but also conducted the inquiry into the death of Diana, Princess of Wales.

There are currently two Physicians to the King, a Serjeant Surgeon, a Surgeon to the King, Surgeon Oculist to the King, Surgeon Gynaecologist to the King, Surgeon Dentist to the King, Orthopaedic Surgeon to the King, Physician to the Household, Surgeon to the Household, Surgeon Oculist to the Household, Apothecary to the King, Apothecary to the Household at Windsor, Apothecary to the Household, and an Apothecary to the Household at Sandringham.

A Medical Officer to the King accompanies His Majesty on overseas tours. They are normally a senior Royal Navy surgeon.
