The Monsilvan Navy (Monsilvan: 山国海军; pinyin: Shānguó Hǎijūn) is the naval warfare service branch of the Monsilvan Armed Forces. It is responsible for naval and amphibious operations. The Monsilvan Navy also includes the Monsilvan Marine Corps, which functions as a branch of the Navy. The Monsilvan Navy has around 47,300 regular personnel including the 9,600 marines. There are about 120 comissioned ships in the Navy. The naval aviation force consists of around 55 fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. The Monsilvan Marine Corps has about ??? tracked vehicles including amphibious assault vehicles.

Although Monsilva's naval history can be dated as far back as the 15th century during the Zhou dynasty, the first organized naval force solely defending Monsilva was the Imperial Shan Navy which defended the Kingdom of Great Shan from its foundation in 1730 until its demise and replacement by the Kingdom of Monsilva in 1830. The Monsilvan Royal Navy immediately succeeded the Imperial Shan Navy and served under the Kingdom of Monsilva until the Monsilvan Republic was founded in 1978. Monsilva's navy had always been one of its largest military branches due to its location along the coast of central Ostlandet. However, although Monsilva's Navy is still of noticeable size, it currently has fewer personnel than both the Monsilvan Air Force and the Monsilvan Army due to increased focuses by the government on those branches.

The ship prefix for Monsilvan Navy combatants is SKC (Shankuo Chuanpo) meaning "Monsilvan Ship" (山国船舶; Shānguó Chuánbó).
