The Gallo-Brittonic languages, also known as the P-Celtic languages, are a proposed subdivision of the Celtic languages comprising the languages of ancient Gaul and Celtic Britain, which shared linguistic innovations along with cultural features including art styles, the worship of similar gods, and similar coinage before the British Roman period. In Julius Caesar's time the Atrebates held land on both sides of the English Channel.

The hypothesis that the languages spoken in Gaul and Great Britain (Gaulish, Brittonic and potentially Pritenic), descended from a common ancestor, separate from the Celtic languages of Ireland, Spain, and Italy, is based on a number of linguistic innovations, principally the evolution of Proto-Celtic */kĘ·/ into /p/ (thus the name "P-Celtic").
