**Lieutenant-fireworker** was an officer rank in the British [Royal Artillery](/source/Royal_Artillery), ranking below [second lieutenant](/source/Second_lieutenant).

After the [first lieutenant](/source/First_lieutenant) and [second lieutenant](/source/Second_lieutenant), the junior lieutenants of a company of artillery were designated "lieutenants and fireworkers", the conjunction soon being dropped.[1]

The rank was abolished in the Royal Artillery in 1771 and in the [Royal Irish Artillery](/source/Royal_Irish_Artillery) in 1774.[2]
