Army general (German: Armeegeneral), was the highest peacetime general officer rank in the so-called armed organs of the GDR (Bewaffnete Organe der DDR [de]), that is, the Ministry of National Defence, the Stasi, and the Ministry of the Interior.

It was aligned with Soviet military doctrine and other armed forces of the Warsaw Pact.

Consequently, in the National People's Army service branches, Landstreitkräfte, Luftstreitkräfte/Luftverteidigung, Border troops, and Volksmarine there was no equivalent.

However, if a Navy flag officer was designated or appointed Minister of National Defence he would be promoted to Flottenadmiral.

When the armed organs of the GDR were disbanded in October 1990, the rank was abolished.
