British New Guinea (BNG) was a protectorate and later Crown colony within the British Empire from 1884 to 1902. It comprised the south-eastern portion of the island of New Guinea, largely corresponding to the southern portion of present-day Papua New Guinea, and bordered Dutch New Guinea to the west and German New Guinea to the north.
