Commodore (Cmdre; French: commodore [cmdre]) is a Canadian Forces rank used by commissioned officers of the Royal Canadian Navy. Brigadier-general is the equivalent rank in the Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force.

It is the lowest flag officer rank, senior to a naval captain (colonel in the Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force), and junior to a rear admiral (major general in the Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force).
