The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (), previously the Chief of Staff, is the office for the head of the Jordanian Armed Forces held by a lieutenant general or higher ranking officer.
Major general Majdi Harasis is the current Chairman, who was appointed to this position on 2 September 2026, after having headed Jordan's military intelligence from 2022 to 2026.
The position was established on 1 March 1956, when the late King Hussein dismissed senior British officers who had commanded the country's Arab Legion since its establishment in 1921. The Arab Legion was subsequently renamed the Jordanian Armed Forces—Arab Army.
