Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was “appalled” at the shooting.
The suspected gunman was killed while the Secret Service confirmed one person in the crowd had died and two others had been “critically injured”.
He said: “I am appalled by the shocking scenes at President Trump’s rally and we send him and his family our best wishes.
“Political violence in any form has no place in our societies and my thoughts are with all the victims of this attack.”
Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the Government “condemns all forms of political violence in the strongest terms”.
Posting on X, formerly known as Twitter, he said: “As we monitor the shocking developments in Pennsylvania, our thoughts and best wishes are with President Trump – along with every victim and their families.”
Former prime minister Liz Truss said said Mr Trump's attempted assassination is "an appalling attack on America, freedom and democracy".
She added: "The world needs President Trump’s strength and I know he will keep fighting until he is returned to the White House."
While ex-Conservative home secretary Suella Braveman described events in Pennsylvania as “appalling scenes”.

Mr Trump had been presenting a chart of border crossing numbers to the crowd then shots rang out across the crowd.
Secret service agents rushed the stage as footage from the event captured screams ringing out from the crowd.
The bangs continued as agents tended to him before Mr Trump got back up and pumped his fist before he was whisked to his motorcade to leave the venue.
Posting on Truth Social, Mr Trump said: “I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin.
“Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead.”
