A force commander is the unofficial title given to an officer or non-commissioned officer of the Adeptus Astartes who commands a non-standard size force of Space Marines.

Astartes forces are usually led by their overall Chapter Master or a captain who commands one of the Chapter's companies.

However, when the forces of several different Chapters, or forces from more than one company of a Chapter, are engaged in battle, the overall command of the action goes to the most capable officer or non-commissioned officer on the field.

For the length of the engagement, this individual is usually referred to as the "force commander," regardless of his actual formal rank.
