The Commander of the Armed Forces (Dutch: Commandant van de strijdkrachten) is the professional head of the National Army (Dutch: Nationaal Leger—NL), the military of the Republic of Suriname. The position dates back to the country's independence from the Netherlands in 1975, with the military being named the Surinamese Armed Forces (Dutch: Surinaamse Krijgsmacht—SKM) until after the Sergeants' Coup in 1980.

The Commander of the Armed Forces is appointed by the President of Suriname, who is the commander-in-chief according to the Constitution.[a]

The current Commander of the Armed Forces is Brigade general Werner Kioe A Sen, serving since 27 October 2022.[1]
