Stabsfähnrich (short: StFähnr / in lists: SFR; en: Staff-fähnrich) was a military rank in the Army of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) from 1956 to 1990. Stabsfähnrich belonged to the autonomous Fähnrich rank group between commissioned officer (CO) and non-commissioned officer (NCO) ranks.
The position of that career group might be compared to the Warrant Officer (WO) rank group in English-speaking armed forces.
The bottom up approach in that rank group was as follows:
- Fähnrich WO-1, (en: Fähnrich)
- Oberfähnrich (WO-2), (Senior-fähnrich)
- Stabsfähnrich WO-3, (Staff-fähnrich)
- Stabsoberfähnrich WO-4, (Staff-senior-fähnrich)
