The following is a list of Commanding Officers of USCGC Eagle (WIX-327). There have been a total of 31 Eagle captains during her 78 years under USCG commission, and 5 during her 10 years of commission as Horst Wessel under the Kriegsmarine.

Many of Eagle's past commanders have gone on to serve with distinction, include ADM Robert J. Papp Jr., who served as the 24th Commandant of the Coast Guard from 2010–2014, and VADM James C. Irwin, who served as vice commandant from 1986 to 1988. In all, 9 former Eagle commanders and two Horst Wessel commanders achieved flag rank.[1]

Horst Wessel's first commander, German VADM August Thiele served with distinction as commander, Kampfgruppe Thiele during WW2, earning the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves, and KADM Kurt Weyher continued in the Imperial German Navy tradition of Count Luckner as a Merchant raider, earning the post-war Great Cross of Merit.[2]
