The Chief of the Air Staff[1] (Swedish: Chefen för flygstaben, CFS, or Flygstabschef) is the professional head of the Swedish Air Staff.

The post was created in 1936 with lieutenant colonel Bengt Nordenskiöld as the first incumbent.

The post disappeared in 1994 and was reintroduced in 2019 when the new Air Staff was established.

Between 1943 and 1966, the post of Vice Chief of the Air Staff existed.

According to the rules of procedure for the Air Staff issued on 1 March 1962, the Vice Chief of the Air Staff (and the Inspector of the Control and Reporting System and the Inspector of the Flying Safety Service) were given responsibility for various departments and other organizational units within the Air Staff's areas of activity so that these executives in effect subsequently served as section heads.
