We present results for the mass of the $b$ quark in the $\bar{MS}$ scheme obtained by calculating the binding energy of the $B$ meson in the static limit. The self energy of a static quark, $E_0^\infty$ needed for this purpose, is now known to $O(\alpha^3)$ in the quenched approximation. We find a {\it preliminary} value of $\bar{m_b}(\bar{m_b})=4.34(7)$ GeV at $n_f=0$. The error is dominated by the remaining uncertainty in $E_0^\infty$. In addition, using $E_0^\infty$ at $O(\alpha^2)$, we estimate that the quark mass is reduced by approximately 70 MeV when two flavours of dynamical quarks are introduced.
