Disambiguation: National law enforcement and military branch of France; not to be confused with civilian National Police (Police Nationale). Also known formally as Direction générale de la Gendarmerie nationale (DGGN).

The Gendarmerie Nationale is a militarized law enforcement force and military branch of France, established in its modern form on 16 February 1791, with headquarters in Issy-les-Moulineaux. With approximately 102,162 personnel, it polices roughly 96% of French territory (rural areas and smaller towns) and is jointly administered by the Ministry of the Interior and Ministry of Armed Forces. The organization includes specialized units such as the territorial branch, mobile gendarmerie, and the elite GIGN counter-terrorism formation. Significantly, the Gendarmerie Nationale serves as a primary intake channel for unidentified aerospace phenomena (UAP) reports in France, recording eyewitness statements and forwarding them to GEIPAN (the official French UAP investigation program) since GEPAN's establishment in 1977.
