Air Vice Marshal is the third most senior rank active in the Royal Air Force today, after the inactivation of Marshal of the Royal Air Force as a substantive rank in peacetime during defence cuts of the 1990s. It ranks above Air Commodore and immediately below Air Marshal.

It has a NATO ranking code of OF-7, and is equivalent to a Rear Admiral in the Royal Navy or a Major General in the British Army or the Royal Marines.

The rank insignia consists of a narrow light blue band (on a slightly wider black band) over a light blue band on a broad black band. This is worn on the both the lower sleeves of the tunic or on the shoulders of the flying suit or the casual uniform.
