List of astronauts educated at the United States Naval Academy

[a][1] The Naval Academy is an undergraduate college in Annapolis, Maryland, with the mission of educating and commissioning officers for the United States Navy and Marine Corps.

During the latter half of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th, the United States Naval Academy was the primary source of U.S. Navy and Marine Corps officers, with the class of 1881 being the first to provide officers to the Marine Corps.

[3] Graduates who enter aviation and space-related fields have the opportunity to be selected for astronaut training by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

As of 2023[update], the most recent alumnus to be selected as an astronaut was Kayla Barron, of the class of 2010.

(Note: The United States Air Force Academy did not graduate its first class until 1959, so a significant percentage of USNA graduates were commissioned in the US Air Force until that time.)
