List of SA-Obergruppenführer
The following list provides an overview of all persons who achieved the rank of Obergruppenführer in the Sturmabteilung (SA), the "party army" of the NSDAP .

The following list follows the "Ranking list of Obergruppenführer, Gruppenführer and Brigadführer" compiled by Horst Henrich on behalf of the Federal Archives in 1969, which is based on a systematic evaluation of the so-called " Führer commands " issued by the SA leadership .
