In the [[United States]], a '''Cadet Honor Code''' is a system of [[ethics]] or [[code of conduct]] applying to [[cadet]]s studying at [[military academies]]. These codes exist at the [[United States service academies|federal service academies]], such as the [[United States Military Academy]] and the [[United States Air Force Academy]] and at the [[United States senior military college|senior military colleges]], as well as other military schools and colleges. The [[United States Naval Academy]] and [[United States Coast Guard Academy]] have a related standard, known as the [[Honor Concept]].
Since it applies to all facets of a cadet's life, a cadet honor code is distinct from an [[academic honor code]], which is used at many universities and colleges around the world but applies to academic conduct only. The codes apply to all cadets enrolled in the military programs at the institutions which use them.

Cadets accused of violating the Honor Code face a standardized investigative and hearing process. First they are tried by a jury of their peers. If they are found guilty, the case will go up to the [[List of commandants of cadets of the United States Military Academy |commandant of the academy]] who will give his recommendation, then to the [[Superintendent of the United States Military Academy| superintendent of the academy]], who has the discretion to either impose sanctions or recommend that the [[Secretary of the Army]] expel the cadet from the academy.
