L'insigne du service général était un insigne réglementaire porté par les soldats du Corps expéditionnaire canadien sur leur couvre-chef pendant la Première Guerre mondiale.
En principe, l'insigne du service général distinguait les soldats canadiens des soldats britanniques. En pratique, cependant, la plupart des unités et formations canadiennes dessinaient et acquéraient leur propre insigne. Il est constitué d'une feuille d'érable stylisée en superposition avec la couronne britannique et le mot Canada.
