This is a list of Egyptian Navy ships including all ships of the Egyptian Navy as well as its predecessors.

The Egyptian Navy is the largest navy in the Middle East and Africa.[citation needed] The majority of the Egyptian Navy's ships were received from the Soviet Union in the 1960s and China in the 1980s. Since the late 1990s Egyptian Navy made a modernization project in which new vessels were acquired from western sources such as the United States, Germany and France. During the past 6 years, which is during the Egyptian president Abdelfatah El Sisi's regime, Egypt has been experiencing a large technological improvement in its navy fleet. Making it every year more comparable to the large and capable navys of the world.
