Naik (Nk; Hindustani: नायक (Devanagri); نائیک (Nastaliq )), also historically spelled as nayak, is an Indian Army and Pakistan Army rank equivalent to corporal. The rank was previously used in the British Indian Army and the Camel Corps, ranking between lance naik and havildar. In cavalry units, the equivalent is lance daffadar. Like a British corporal, a naik wears two rank chevrons. A naik leads a team of 8-10 soldiers.
