The Military ranks of Yemen are the military insignia used by the Republic of Yemen Armed Forces, which are based on the British insignia used by the Yemen Arab Republic and the former Federation of South Arabia, later the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, whose armed forces used Soviet styled insignia of the British pattern.

Commissioned officers

The rank insignia for commissioned officers for the army, air force and navy respectively follow the former British pattern.
