The '''Royal Moroccan Navy''' of Morocco ({{langx|ar|القوات البحرية الملكية المغربية}}) is a branch of the [[Royal Moroccan Armed Forces|military of Morocco]] responsible for conducting [[navy|naval]] operations. 
The Royal Moroccan Navy is administratively managed by the Administration of Defence, which is (''de facto'') commanded by King [[Mohammed VI of Morocco|Mohammed VI]], the commander-in-chief of the [[Moroccan Armed Forces]].

== Mission ==
The Royal Moroccan Navy is part of the Moroccan Armed Forces. Its mission includes the protection of [[Morocco|Moroccan]] territory and sovereignty, as well as the control of Morocco's 81,000-square-[[nautical mile]] [[Exclusive Economic Zone]]. Given Morocco's significant coastline (2,952&nbsp;km) and strategic position overseeing the [[Strait of Gibraltar]], it (along with [[Spain]] and the [[United Kingdom]]) is deeply involved in the security of this important [[international waters|international waterway]].

== History ==
The history of the modern Royal Moroccan Navy began in 1960 with its foundation by King [[Mohammed V of Morocco|Mohammed V]]. The first admiral of the modern Moroccan Navy was Vice Admiral Mohammed Triki, who held the position as the Commander in Chief of the Royal Moroccan Navy for 14 years from 1991 to 2005, and devoted 46 years of services to the Moroccan Navy. Vice Admiral Triki was awarded these decorations: (from Morocco) Legion of the Order of Commander, Knight of the Order of the Throne by his majesty King Hassan II; (from France)  Legion of Honor by President [[Jacques Chirac]]; (from USA) Legion of Merit by President Bill Clinton; and (from Spain) Legion of Merit.
Although the modern Royal Navy was structured following independence, the Moroccan naval military traces its roots back to the 11th century, with the rise of the [[Almoravid dynasty]], and its ambition for naval hegemony in the [[Mediterranean Sea]]. [[Admiral]] Abdullah Ben Meimoun is credited for being the first commander of the [[Almoravid| Almoravid dynasty]] organized naval forces.
With the Almohad dynasty taking over most of northern Africa, together with [[Al-Andalus]], the Almohad dynasty navy soon became the "first fleet of the Mediterranean".<ref name="Almohad NAvy">{{cite book|last=André|first=Charles-André|title=Histoire de l'Afrique du Nord|publisher=Payot |year=1994 |location=Paris|page=866 |isbn=978-2-228-88789-2}}</ref> At its peak, the [[Almohad]] navy's military reputation was well known, inciting [[Ayyubid|Ayyubid dynasty]] Egypt and [[Saladin]] to seek its help in preventing [[Crusades]] expeditions.
The 16th century had the starting decline of the Moroccan state and consequently the navy that served it. The capture of major coastal cities and locations by [[Spanish Empire|Spain]] and [[Portuguese Empire|Portugal]] significantly affected [[Morocco]]'s naval capabilities.
