The Chief of the Army Staff[1] (Swedish: Chefen för arméstaben, CAst, or Arméstabschef) is the professional head of the Swedish Army Staff.

The post was created in 1936 with colonel Helge Jung as the first incumbent.

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

The position was initially held by a colonel (1937–1943) and later by a major general (1943–1994).

[2] When the Army Staff was disbanded in 1994, the office was eliminated.
