The Haitian Navy (French: Marine Haitienne; Haitian Creole: Marin Ayisyèn), is the naval branch of the armed forces of Haiti. The constitutional duty of the Navy is to protect the maritime sovereignty of Haiti: It is to secure and defend Haitian waters that include the Atlantic Ocean (northern Haiti) and the Caribbean Sea which embraces the remainder of the Haiti's coastline. The Navy is responsible with securing the lakes inside the country, and land areas under its direct area of command.
Like the rest of the armed forces, it was reinstated by the late-President Jovenel Moïse in 2017 after being disbanded in 1995 by executive order, by President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
As of July 2025, the Haitian Navy has a strength of a dozen personnel, all officers and non-commissioned officers who graduated from the Escuela Naval Militar of the Argentine Navy. The Colombian Navy will be training 250 recruits starting late 2025.
The acronym "MH", (French: Marine Haïtienne) is used as the ship prefix for all Haitian Navy ships.
