The Military ranks of the Colombian armed forces consist of the list and ordering of the different military ranks, for the Officers, Non-commissioned officers (NCOs) and soldiers, seamen and airmen ("other ranks") of the Military Forces of Colombia. The ranks are visually represented by insignias placed on the uniforms, usually at the shoulders, sleeves and shirt collars.

Note that a literal translation from Spanish to English may be misleading as the rank names don't necessarily follow the customary order used in anglophone military ranks in all cases.

The professional ranking of the Military Forces of Colombia is founded on the article 217 of the Political Constitution of Colombia, regimented through multiple Laws and Decrees, starting with the Decree #1790 from 2000, up to the latest and most updated one, Law #1405 of 2010.
