The Romaian Navy (Ρωμαϊκό Πολεμικό Ναυτικό; abbreviated as ΠΝ) is the navy of Romaia. It is one of the six branches of Romaian Armed Forces. The Romaian Navy is one of naval forces currently operating fixed-wing aircraft carriers, with its flagship TBD A nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

The Romaian Navy consists of TBD main components: TBD. As of 2022, the Romaian Navy employed 40,000 personnel (35,000 military and 5,000 civilian), more than TBD ships, TBD aircraft, and TBD commandos units; as of 2022, its reserve element numbered roughly 41,000.

The Romaian Navy operates one aircraft carrier three amphibious assault ships, ten air defence and/or anti-submarine frigates, five general purpose frigates and has a commitment to six fleet submarines (SSNs). These vessels, with the aircraft carrier Konstantinos VI, constitute the Romaian Navy's main ocean-going war-fighting force, while the four ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) of the navy's Strategic Oceanic Force provide the backbone of the Romaian nuclear deterrent.

In addition the Romaian Navy operates six light surveillance frigates and, as of 2020, six avisos (originally light corvettes now reclassified as patrol vessels). They undertake the navy's offshore patrol duties, the protection of Romaian naval bases and territorial waters, and can also provide low-end escort capabilities to any oceangoing task force. The Navy also operates a fleet of offshore and coastal patrol vessels, mine countermeasures vessels as well as auxiliaries and support ships.
