The rank of lieutenant general (or three-star general) is the second-highest rank normally achievable in the United States Army, and the first to have a specific number of authorized positions for it set by statute. It ranks above major general (two-star general) and below general (four-star general).
There have been 101 lieutenant generals in the U.S. Army since 1 January 2020, eight of whom were promoted to four-star general. All 94 achieved that rank while on active duty in the U.S. Army. Lieutenant generals entered the Army via several paths: 55 were commissioned via Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) at a civilian university, 29 via the U.S. Military Academy (USMA), nine via ROTC at a senior military college, five via Officer Candidate School (OCS), one via ROTC at a military junior college, one via cross-commission at the USAFA and one via direct commission (direct).

Each entry lists the general's name, date of rank, active-duty positions held while serving at three-star rank, number of years of active-duty service at three-star rank (Yrs), year commissioned and source of commission, number of years in commission when promoted to three-star rank (YC), and other biographical notes.
