Feltmarskal

Feltmarskal eller blot marskal betegner i nogle lande den højeste landmilitære grad, over general. Gradstegnet består som regel af to marskalstave lagt over kors. Mange lande har periodevist kun udnævnt feltmarskaler i krigstid og ofte kun efter en sejr i et større slag. Enkelte lande, f.eks. Tyskland, har benyttet titlen generalfeltmarskal og/eller rigsmarskal.

Graden anvendes ikke længere i Danmarks militær, men generaler i hæren har i en periode benyttet korslagte stave i stedet for fire stjerner.

Historisk og etymologisk har ordet "marskal" oprindelse fra det tidlige Frankerrige og er dannet af ordene for hest, "mare", og tjener, "skalkoz".
