In the [[British Armed Forces]], the provost marshal is the head of the military police of each service, with the senior military police officers at lower levels being titled deputy or assistant provost marshals.

It dates back to early Tudor times but the office was probably in existence in the 12th century.<ref>{{cite news |last1= |first1= |date=14 June 2022 |title=Brigadier Iain Cameron, Provost Marshal who steered the Royal Military Police through times of change – obituary |newspaper=The Telegraph |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2022/06/14/brigadier-iain-cameron-provost-marshal-steered-royal-military/}}</ref> By the end of the 17th Century each [[regiment]] had its own provost marshal<ref>p.110 Collins, John M.
