The Ministry for Naval Affairs (Greek: Ὑπουργείον [ἐπὶ] τῶν Ναυτικῶν) was a government department of Greece responsible for matters pertaining to the Greek Navy as well as the Greek Merchant Marine Ministry.

The Ministry for Naval Affairs was established during the early years of the modern Greek state, reflecting the country's long-standing maritime traditions and the importance of shipping and seafaring to its economy and society. Greece's strategic geographic position and its numerous islands made the maritime sector a key element of national life and policy.
