Ousman Badjie (born 15 November 1967) was the Chief of the Defence Staff and of the Army of the Gambia, and Lieutenant-General in the Gambian Army, having succeeded Masaneh Kinteh to the position. He was removed from his position in March 2017.[1][2][3][4]

Badjie received attention during the 2016–2017 Gambian constitutional crisis for his alleged support of Adama Barrow in December,[5] then supporting Yahya Jammeh in January,[3] though later saying that his troops will not fight for Jammeh against ECOWAS forces.[2]
