General (Gen; French: Général [gén]) is a military rank used by the Canadian Army and Royal Canadian Air Force typically held by the officer who is serving as the chief of the Defence Staff – the senior uniformed officer of the Canadian Forces – if they belong to those elements. Admiral is the equivalent rank in the Royal Canadian Navy. The rank is referred to as "four-star", a reference to its American equivalent. Prior to the 1968 unification of the Canadian Forces, the equivalent rank in the Royal Canadian Air Force was air chief marshal.

Il est équivalent au grade d'amiral au sein de la Marine royale canadienne. Généralement, il n'y a qu'un seul officier portant ce grade dans les Forces armées canadiennes et il occupe la position de chef d'État-Major de la Défense. Il correspond au grade quatre étoiles portant le code OF-9 des codes OTAN des grades du personnel militaire. Avant 1968, ce grade était connu sous le nom d'air chief marshal (« maréchal en chef de l'air ») au sein des Forces aériennes. (fr)
