The Commander-in-Chief of the Luxembourg Armed Forces (Luxembourgish: Chefkommandant vun der Lëtzebuerger Arméi; French: Commandant en chef des Forces armées luxembourgeoises) is the supreme command authority of the Luxembourg Armed Forces, a role vested in the monarch of Luxembourg by the Constitution of Luxembourg. However, while officially the supreme head of the armed forces, and to whom members of the armed forces plead allegiance, de facto executive authority rests in the Prime Minister of Luxembourg and the Minister of Defence.
