The '''Supreme Commander of the [[Korean People's Army|Armed Forces]] of [[North Korea|Democratic People's Republic of Korea]]''' ([[Korean language|Korean]]: 조선민주주의인민공화국무력 최고사령관) is the [[commander-in-chief]] of the [[Korean People's Army]], the [[military]] of [[North Korea]]. The office was established on 4 July 1950 and abolished with the passing of a new constitution in 1972. Since then, the office of [[Eternal leaders of North Korea#Presidency_of_North_Korea_before_1994|President of North Korea]], the Chairman of the [[National Defence Commission]] and the [[President of the State Affairs Commission]] have been referred to as supreme commanders in accordance with the constitution.
As such, the only officeholder is [[Kim Il-sung]]. But the title has been bestowed on both [[Kim Jong-il]] and [[Kim Jong-un]], and legally enforced through the offices of Chairman of the National Defence Commission and President of the State Affairs Commission respectively. All officeholders are also the Chairman of the [[Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea]].
