Inspector-General of Hospitals and Fleets was a rank in the Naval Medical Service of the Royal Navy. In 1881 the number of Inspectors General was capped at four.

In 1890 the age of compulsory retirement age was raised to sixty-two in cases where the Admiralty believed the interests of the Public Service would be served by retaining an officer on the Active List.[1] In 1899 the number was raised by Order in Council to five.

The title was changed to Surgeon-General in 1911.[2]
