Englisch or Engländer.
The first term is a generic word, the second refers to a specific person of English nationality.
...This is the word for an Englishman. Although we call the Germans 'the Germans', I'm sure you might be able to think of a few things one might say other than that. The rude version (just as Brits may say 'Kraut') is 'Inselaffen', which literally means 'island-monkey'.
===========================================================
The Germans don't use Nationalities as adjectives in the same way English speakers say. To say someone is English, or American in German you literally have to say he is (an) Englishman - Er ist Engländer, or he is (an) American - Er is Amerikaner. You do not say er ist englisch or er ist amerikanisch.
The word Englisch would only be used when referring to the language, or as an adjective (with the appropriate ending) when referring to non-human nouns and then normally immediately preceeding the noun it is describing, e.g. englischer Senft - English mustard.
The Germans tend to use the term Engländer in a very generic sense to refer to all members of the British Isles, which can be a little annoying if you're Welsh or Scottish
