The Greek Gendarmerie (Greek: Ελληνική Χωροφυλακή, Elliniki Chorofylaki) was the national gendarmerie and military police force of Greece.
The Greek Gendarmerie was established in 1833 as the Royal Gendarmerie and its decree was based on the French Gendarmerie decree. In 1984 the Greek Gendarmerie was merged with the City Police (Αστυνομία Πόλεων, Astynomia Poleon) forces to establish the Greek Police.
