The Syrian Navy (Arabic: الْبَحْرِيَّةُ السُّورِيَّةُ, romanizedal-Baḥrīyah as-Sūrīyah) is the naval branch of the Syrian Armed Forces.

The main role of the Syrian Navy is to defend the country's coasts and ensure the security of the territorial waters of Syria. The Coastal Defense Forces and the Syrian Marines were attached to the Navy since the late 20th century.

After the fall of the Assad regime in 2024, its military assets fell into the hands of a new coalition which is attempting to reconstitute previous state institutions under new leadership, organization and direction as a unified national force.
