List of United States Army four-star generals

This is a complete list of four-star generals in the United States Army, past and present. The rank of general (or full general, or four-star general) is the highest rank normally achievable in the U.S. Army. It ranks above lieutenant general (three-star general) and below General of the Army (five-star general).

There have been 231 four-star generals in the history of the U.S. Army. Of these, 213 achieved that rank while on active duty in the U.S. Army; eight were promoted after retirement; five were promoted posthumously; and one (George Washington) was appointed to that rank in the Continental Army, the U.S. Army's predecessor. Generals entered the Army via several paths: 150 were commissioned via the U.S. Military Academy (USMA), 41 via Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) at a civilian university, 16 via direct commission, 13 via Officer Candidate School (OCS), 7 via ROTC at a senior military college, one via ROTC at a military junior college, one via the Army National Guard (ARNG), one via the aviation cadet program, and one via battlefield commission.
