Storbritanniens försvarschef (Chief of the Defence Staff; förkortning: CDS) är den högste yrkesmilitära befattningen i den brittiska militären och den främste militära rådgivaren/ställföreträdaren i försvarsministeriet till Storbritanniens försvarsminister. Försvarschefen nomineras av försvarsministern till premiärministern och formellt tillsätts befattningen av monarken i kronrådet
Befattningen inrättades 1959. Den närmaste motsvarigheten före dess var ordföranden för stabschefskommittén (Chiefs of Staff Committee), som funnits sedan 1923 där de tre försvarsgrenarnas stabschefer sammanträdde. Ordförandeskapet i den kommittén roterade mellan Förste sjölorden, Arméstabschefen och Flygstabschefen. Från 1959 till 1997 var den officer som innehade befattningen alltid en femstjärnig officer (OF-10 med Natoterminologi), den högsta graden i respektive försvarsgren. Från 1997 har det varit en fyrstjärnig officer (OF-9).
Chief of the Defence Staff sedan november 2021 är Tony Radakin.[1]
