The usher of the Scarlet Rod, formally known as the Gentleman Usher of the Scarlet Rod or Lady Usher of the Scarlet Rod is the Usher to the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, established 14 January 1726.

The Brunswick Herald, an officer of arms of the Order of the Bath, was annexed with the position at the time it was established. The office lapsed in 1857 when the Order of the Bath was remodelled. The Brunswick Herald was not part of the College of Arms, although the final four officer holders were officers in ordinary of the college. The heraldic badge of the order is enamelled with the arms of the Braunschweig (Brunswick) family, Gules, two lions passant guardant or.[1]

The present holder, Major General Susan Ridge, is the first Lady Usher of the Scarlet Rod.
