'''{{lang|de|Amtsleiter}}''' ({{translation|Office leader}}{{sfn|Clark|2007|p=10}}) was a [[Ranks and insignia of the Nazi Party|Nazi Party political rank]] which existed between 1933 and 1938. The rank was created as a "catch all" political staff position across all levels of the [[Nazi Party]] (local, county, region, and national) and encompassed a wide array of duties and responsibilities.
A special rank of {{lang|de|Hauptamtsleiter}} existed on the [[Reichsleitung]] (National Level) of the Nazi Party. In 1939, the two ranks of {{lang|de|Amtsleiter}} were phased out of the Nazi Party and replaced by several new [[paramilitary]] political ranks.
