The Commander-in-Chief Unit Commendation (French: Mention élogieuse du commandant en chef à l'intention des unités) is a Canadian award given to military units for "an extraordinary deed or activity of a rare high standard in extremely hazardous circumstances".

Established in 2002, the commendation has been issued eight times:[1] The insignia of the commendation is a gold-tone bar overlaid with the crest from Canada's royal arms,[1] which is used as the heraldic badge of the governor general and commander in chief.

This insignia is worn on the left, right or both breasts of ceremonial, mess and service dress uniforms.

Members who were serving with the unit during the commended actions wear the insignia on the left breast.

The heraldic blazon is Tierced in pale azure, gules and bleu celeste, the crest of the royal arms of Canada (on a wreath argent and gules a lion passant guardant or imperially crowned proper and holding in the dexter paw a maple leaf gules).
