{{lang|de|Stellenleiter}} ({{IPA|de|ˈʃtɛlənˌlaɪ̯.tɐ|}}, {{translation|Department leader}}) was a Nazi Party political rank which existed between 1936 and 1939. The rank was created as a mid-level political position intended to replace the older rank of Zellenwart ("cell guard"), also known as Zellenleiter. In the early Nazi Party rank organization, the position of {{lang|de|stellenleiter}} was senior to Mitarbeiter and junior to Amtsleiter.

The rank of {{lang|de|stellenleiter}} was phased out of the Nazi Party in 1939, replaced by a new series of para-military political ranks.
