The Mircea cel Bătrân Naval Academy (Romanian: Academia Navală "Mircea cel Bătrân") is a higher education institution based in the Black Sea port of Constanța that educates future officers for the Romanian Naval Forces, as well as maritime officers and engineers for the merchant marine.

The Naval Academy has its roots in the Flotila School established in the Danubian port of Galați in 1872.

A Naval School was reestablished in Constanța in 1920, with a Section for Merchant Marine established in 1938.

After World War II it was reorganized and renamed several times until 1969, when it was named School for active Navy officers "Mircea cel Bătrân", after Mircea the Elder, a Wallachian voivode who ruled the Dobrujan coast in the late 14th century.

In 1972, a separate university, the Merchant Marine Institute (Romanian: Institutul de Marină Civilă), was created for the commercial navy.
