{{Use dmy dates|date=July 2023}}
The following is a list of Australians who have attained [[general officer]] rank within the [[Australian Army]]; that is, officers who have held the rank of [[Field marshal (Australia)|field marshal]] ([[five-star rank]]), [[General (Australia)|general]] ([[four-star rank]]), [[Lieutenant general (Australia)|lieutenant general]] ([[three-star rank]]), [[major general (Australia)|major general]] ([[two-star rank]]) or [[Brigadier general (Australia)|brigadier general]] ([[one-star rank]]).

==Ranks==
The senior Australian Army ranks are:
*Senior Officer: brigadier.
*General: [[Brigadier General (Australia)|brigadier general]], [[Major general (Australia)|major general]], [[Lieutenant general (Australia)|lieutenant general]], [[General (Australia)|general]].<ref group="Note">An Australian [[Brigadier (Australia)|brigadier]] is not classed as a "general", whereas an Australian brigadier general was. The British Army replaced the rank of brigadier general with colonel-commandant in 1922, and then with brigadier in 1928. The Australian Army did something similar. The rank of brigadier general was abolished in the Australian Army in 1921, and it was eventually replaced by that of brigadier in 1929. In the interim titles such as 'colonel-in-command', 'colonel-of-staff' and 'colonel-commandant' were used for officers posted into that level of command.(Cadet Instructor's Handbook 2006)</ref>
*Marshal: [[Field marshal (Australia)|field marshal]].

The rank of [[General (Australia)|general]] is the most senior active rank in the Australian Army. Only the [[five-star rank]] of [[Field marshal (Australia)|field marshal]] is higher, but it is reserved for exceptional circumstances and only [[Thomas Blamey|Sir Thomas Blamey]] (1951) has attained the rank in a non-ceremonial capacity. There are currently no appointments in the [[Australian Defence Force]] (ADF) at the five-star level. With the current structure of the ADF, the rank of general is held only when an officer of the Australian Army is appointed as [[Chief of the Defence Force (Australia)|Chief of the Defence Force]].

Generals of the Australian Army are as follows:
