Post-captain est un grade obsolète de la Royal Navy, correspondant à celui de capitaine de vaisseau.
Un post-captain était un officier promu au « tableau d'avancement » de la Royal Navy lui permettant de faire carrière à l'ancienneté, avec à terme la possibilité du grade d'amiral. Il avait alors la possibilité de commander un navire d'une plus grande taille que s'il était simplement Commander.
