Space Marine Commanders
Space Marines have a choice of two commanders, Masters or Captains. Masters refur to the Chapter Master of the Chapter while Captain refurs to one of the ten leaders of each company within a chapter (assuming standard Codex Astartes layout)1. There is also the rank of Force Commander2, however this has since been removed from use with the release of the 4th edition Space Marine codex.
