Ranks and insignia of NATO are combined military insignia used by the member countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

NATO maintains a "standard rank scale" in an attempt to match every member country's military rank to corresponding ranks used by the other members. The rank categories were established in the document STANAG 2116, formally titled NATO Codes for Grades of Military Personnel. There are two scales, though not all member countries use all the points on the NATO scales and some have more than one rank at some points:

• OF1 - OF10 (bottom to top) are used for officers
• OR1 - OR9 (bottom to top) are used for other ranks

This rank scale is used for specifying posts within NATO.
