Lieutenant colonel general ({{lang-sh-Cyrl-Latn|генерал-потпуковник|general-potpukovnik|general sub-colonel}}) is a general officer rank in a number of armed forces in the countries of the Balkans. The rank can be traced back the ranks used by the Yugoslav People's Army, and continues to be used in a number of former Yugoslav countries following the breakup of Yugoslavia.{{cite magazine |date=December 1975 |title=Die jugoslawische Armee |trans-title=The Yugoslav Army |language=de |magazine=Der Landser |location=Hamburg |publisher=Erich Pabel Verlag |pages=61–62}}
The rank of lieutenant colonel general represents a rationalisation of the situation in some armies of a lieutenant general outranking a major general, when a major outranks a lieutenant.{{cite web |title=GRADAT, FORCA TOKËSORE |url=https://aaf.mil.al/images/pdf/gradat_FT.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210428065132/https://aaf.mil.al/images/pdf/gradat_FT.pdf |archive-date=28 April 2021 |access-date=25 May 2021 |website=aaf.mil.al |language=sq}}
