Corporal of Horse (CoH) est un grade de la Household Cavalry de la British Army correspondant au grade de sergent dans d'autres régiments. Auparavant aucun régiment de cavalerie n'avait de sergents, mais la Household Cavalry est le seul a garder cette tradition vivante.
L'origine du mot sergent venant de la racine de servant, or le plus humble des hommes de troupe dans la Household Cavalry était considéré comme un gentleman, ce grade n'était donc pas approprié.
Le grade de Corporal of Horse existe depuis les années 1660. Le grade inférieur est Lance Corporal of Horse qui correspond à Staff Corporal.
