Komandarm 2nd rank (Russian: командарм 2-го ранга) is the abbreviation to commanding officer of the army 2nd class (Russian: командующий армией 2-го ранга, romanized: komanduyushchiy armiyey 2-go ranga; lit. 'Commander of the Army / Army commander 2nd rank'), and was a military rank in the Soviet Armed Forces of the USSR in the period from 1935 to 1940. It was also the designation to military personnel appointed to command a field army sized formation (XXXX).

Until 1940 it was the third highest military rank of the Red Army. It was equivalent to Komissar army 2nd rank (ru: армейский комиссар 2-ого ранга) of the political staff in all military branches, Fleet Flag Officer 2nd rank (ru: флагман флота 2-ого ранга) in the Soviet navy, or to Komissar of state security 2nd rank (ru: комиссар государственной безопасности 2-ого ранга). With the reintroduction of regular general ranks, the designation Komandarm 1st rank was abolished, and replaced by General of the Army or Colonel general.
