名誉司令荣誉司令(英语:Colonel-in-Chief)在英联邦国家军队是指一个军团的守护人英语Patronage,传统上是由皇室成员来担任。[1] 荣誉司令不需要像正式的司令一样负责团内的职务,但是他有必要了解团内正在进行的重要活动,并不定时到团内巡视,维持军队与皇室之间的联系。目前的英国陆军,有两位外国君主在英国的团内担任这个职位:

1936 年 4 月 22 日在纳粹德国柏林- 冯·塞克特上将与帝国陆军部长冯·布隆伯格陆军元帅一起走在第 67 团荣誉连的前面。

这个职位虽然传统上是由皇室成员来担任,最终的选择却是由军团本身来决定,例如帕特里夏公主加拿大轻步兵团英语Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry的名誉上校应是由威灵顿公爵担任,军团却曾经邀请加拿大总督伍冰枝成为军团的荣誉司令。[4]
