(covers information from several alternate timelines)
Admiral was a flag officer rank above vice admiral but below fleet admiral, the equivalent of which was used by the service organizations including Earth's Royal Navy, as well as in Starfleet ranks and Romulan ranks. (TNG: "The Defector", et al.) The Cardassian Union's rank of legate was comparable to an admiral. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part II")

Background information
TNG Season 1 introduced three unique, seemingly sequential, yet undefined admiral insignia designs that appeared in "Too Short a Season", "Coming of Age", "Conspiracy", and in archive footage from the aforementioned in "Shades of Gray".
 Admirals Jameson and Quinn's insignia |
 Admiral Savar's insignia |
 Admiral Aaron's insignia |
All of the admirals seen wearing this style of insignia (Savar, Aaron, Quinn, and Jameson) were only referred to by their "admiral" title, with Quinn being described as a "senior admiral", despite of having the lowest apparent grade insignia.
Following the first season, Robert Blackman's production notes during described this rank as "4 Starfleet Admiral, gold framed bar w/4 dots." [1](X)
The Star Trek Encyclopedia (3rd ed., p. 210-211) labeled this rank as "admiral" referring to the late 2270's-2350's uniforms, and "admiral, four star" referring to its use on 2350s-2370s, late 2360s-early 2370s, and 2370s uniforms.
Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 10, p. 99, mistakenly identified the late 2270's-2350's rear admiral insignia as the admiral insignia.
