The Navy League of the United States, commonly referred to as The Navy League, is a national association made up of former members of the United States Navy, United States Marine Corps, the United States Coast Guard and the United States Merchant Marine, and civilians interested in supporting the sea services. This organization supports the community, two youth organizations (United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps and the Navy League Cadet Corps), and armed forces veterans groups.

It was founded, at the suggestion of Theodore Roosevelt, in 1902. The Navy League describes itself as "a civilian organization dedicated to the education of our citizens, including our elected officials, and the support of the men and women of the sea services and their families."
