The Zorasani Irfanic Revolutionary Navy (Pardarian: ارتش انگلآب آرزو مصلح زرزائی ارفانی; Arteš-e Enghelâb-e Arz-ye Neeroo-e Zorasāni-e Erfāni) is the naval warfare service branch of Zorasan's Armed Forces.

It is charged with the responsibility of forming Zorasan's first line of defense in the Gulf of Mazarazad and beyond with the mission of acting as an effective blue-water navy. However, it is generally considered as a conventional green-water navy as it mostly operates at a regional level, in the Solarian Sea, Mazdan Sea, Gulf of Assionaire and the eastern fringes of the Lumine Ocean. Since 2011, the Navy has focused on expanding its capabilities, operational range and quality of systems.

Overall manpower strength in the Navy is supported by the various branches within the Navy, including the Aviation and Marines (Maritime Takavaran). The Navy also has operational control over the Zorasani Irfanic Revolutionary Coastal Protection Force, which is the land-based force dedicated to shore-to-sea operations. As of 2018, the ZIRN stands as one of the largest navies in the world, with 12 destroyers, 21 frigates, 22 corvettes, 30 submarines and 74 small patrol and attack craft.
