This is a list of people who held general officer rank or the rank of brigadier (together now recognized as starred officers) in the British Army, Royal Marines, British Indian Army or other military force.

It does not include English Army generals (England has not had its own army since the Act of Union with Scotland in 1707) or Scottish Army generals.

See also Category:British generals - note that a "Brigadier" is not classed as a "general" in the British Army, despite being a NATO 1-star equivalent rank.[1]

Hence, in the lists below:

  • 1* = Brigadier General/Brigadier
  • 2* = Major General
  • 3* = Lieutenant General
  • 4* = General

(dates after the name are birth and death)
