''This article refers to the UNSC Marine Corps and UNSC Army rank of Captain. For the UNSC Navy rank, see Captain (Navy).''

Captain is a junior commissioned officer rank of the UNSC Marine Corps and UNSC Army, equal in rank to Lieutenant in the UNSC Navy.

There are only Captains featured so far. One is the nameless commander of Tango Company, one of the Marine Corps companies the Spartan-IIs were pitted against during their training as youths. Another is Carol Rawley, better known as "Foehammer" from Halo: The Flood or Halo: Combat Evolved (although in Halo: Combat Evolved, she is referred to as a Lieutenant). The other is Captain Ponder, after being demoted from Lieutenant Colonel, featured in Halo: Contact Harvest.
