A '''signal corps''' is a [[military branch]], responsible for [[military communications]] (''signals''). Many countries maintain a signal corps, which is typically subordinate to a country's [[army]].

Military communication usually consists of [[radio]], [[telephone]], and digital communications.

The first dedicated signal corps of any nation was the [[United States Army Signal Corps]], established in 1860.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Rauch |first=Steven J. |date=June 22, 2014 |title=The enduring Signal Corps: Pioneering innovations since 1860: A proud history |url=https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Pioneering+innovations+since+1860.-a0383851837 |access-date=April 25, 2025 |work=Army Communicator |via=[[The Free Library]]}}</ref>
