Navarro Networks was a developer of Ethernet-based ASIC components based in Plano, Texas, in the United States. They produced a network processor for Ethernet and other applications.

Navarro Networks was founded in 2000. Their CEO was Mark Bluhm, who was formerly a Vice President at Cyrix. A group of nine employees left the Cyrix division of Via in March 2000 to staff the company.

They were acquired by Cisco Systems on May 1, 2002 in a stock transaction worth up to $85M. They joined the Internet Systems Business Unit to enhance Cisco's internal ASIC capability in Ethernet switching platforms.
