thumb|Oberleutnant Egon Albrecht, Staffelführer in [[Zerstörergeschwader 76.]] Staffelkapitän is a command appointment, rather than a military rank, in the air force units of German-speaking countries.
The rank normally held by a Staffelkapitän has changed over time. In the present-day German Luftwaffe – part of the Bundeswehr – the position is usually held by an Oberstleutnant (lieutenant colonel) or Major.
