The chief of the general staff () is the chief of the general staff of the Slovak Armed Forces. He is appointed by the president of Slovakia, who is the commander-in-chief. The current chief of the general staff is Lieutenant General Daniel Zmeko.
The post was created as part of the separation of the Slovak armed forces from those of the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic (CSFR). In June 1994 the commander of the Slovak Army, Julius Humaj, announced the transformation of the Army High Command (formerly Command East of the CSFR) into a general staff along Western lines. This was approved by the Slovak National Council on 26 August, with laws establishing that the chief of the general staff would be subordinate to the civilian defence minister.
For period from 1919 to 1992, see Chief of the General Staff of Czechoslovakia.
