A  Lieutenant Junior Grade, or LTJG, is the second commissioned officer rank in the United States Navy, and is equivalent to the rank of First Lieutenant in other branches of the Armed Services. An LTJG usually serves as a billeted Division Officer, and leads a group of seamen and petty officers in specific divisions like Engineering or Intelligence.

Promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade from Ensign usually occurs about two years after an officer has received their commission as an Ensign. Sailors may receive earlier or later promotions at the discretion of their commanding officers, based on their experience and display of leadership skills.

Lieutenant Junior Grade is the 17th rank in the United States Navy , ranking above Ensign and directly below Lieutenant.
