The FBI is organized into functional branches and the Office of the Director, which contains most administrative offices. An executive assistant director manages each branch. Each branch is then divided into offices and divisions, each headed by an assistant director. The various divisions are further divided into sub-branches, led by deputy assistant directors. Within these sub-branches, there are various sections headed by section chiefs. Section chiefs are ranked analogous to special agents in charge. Four of the branches report to the deputy director while two report to the associate director.

The main branches of the FBI are:<ref name="structure">{{Cite web |title=Leadership & Structure |url=https://www.fbi.gov/about/leadership-and-structure |access-date=January 8, 2021 |publisher=Federal Bureau of Investigation |archive-date=July 17, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160717161156/https://www.fbi.gov/about/leadership-and-structure |url-status=live }}</ref>
