Sergeant was a rank, the equivalent of which was used by the service organizations of many civilizations. As a traditional military or police grade, sergeant was the highest enlisted rank, or a series of the highest enlisted ranks, used in a service organization. Sergeants ranked below commissioned officers and above corporals. In comparison to naval ranking systems, this rank was approximately equivalent to the naval petty officer (second or third class).

In the traditional definition, lower grade sergeants commanded, or were responsible for, squads consisting of around a dozen troops. Some rank systems used different grades of sergeant, such as "first sergeant," "staff sergeant," "master sergeant," "gunnery sergeant," "technical sergeant," "sergeant major," and "sergeant of the army."

Other non-canon sources suggest the Bajoran Militia had sergeants.
