This article is about the cavalry rank. For alternative meanings see: Trooper.

A trooper (abbreviated Tpr.) is a cavalry soldier of private rank, member of a troop. This rank is used in British, Australian and Canadian armoured branches of service.

The rank of Trooper is not to be confused with trouper, a member of an acting troupe.

In the U.S. cavalry, "trooper" is used in place of the word "soldier." Trooper is not a rank in the U.S. military.
