国际棋联称号是指世界国际象棋联合会授予国际象棋棋手的一系列称号，其中最高头衔为特级大师。授予标准包括等级分以及序分（norm）。国际棋联的称号皆为终身制，尽管在特殊情况下仍有可能会被取消。公开称号面向所有男女棋手，而女子称号只有女棋手才能获得。顶尖女棋手可以同时获得两个称号。

国际棋联自1950年起向棋手授予称号，第一批包括27位特级大师、94位国际大师以及17位女子国际大师。起初称号的授予并没有确定的标准，而是由一个委员会作出授予决定。1957年起，国际棋联开始引入序分。

The World Chess Federation, FIDE (Fédération Internationale des Échecs), awards several performance-based titles to chess players, up to and including the highly prized Grandmaster title. Titles generally require a combination of Elo rating and norms (performance benchmarks in competitions including other titled players). Once awarded, FIDE titles are held for life, though a title may be revoked in exceptional circumstances. Open titles may be earned by all players, whilst the women's titles are restricted to female players. A strong female player may have a title in both systems.
