The Italian Minister of the Navy was a member of the Council Ministers from 1861 until 1947. Under the Kingdom of Italy from 1861 to 1946, the minister oversaw the Regia Marina ("Royal Navy"), and his position was known officially as Ministri della marina del Regno d'Italia ("Minister of the Navy of the Kingdom of Italy"), while under the Italian Republic from 1946 to 1947 he oversaw the Marina Militare (literally "Military Navy," but usually translated as "Italian Navy") and was known officially as Ministro per la Marina Militare (literally "Minister for the Military Navy"), the name change becoming official on 13 July 1946. The position was abolished when the Ministry of the Navy merged with the Ministry of Aeronautics and Ministry of War to form the Ministry of Defence in 1947.

The last Minister of the Navy was Giuseppe Micheli, who served in the government of Alcide De Gasperi.[1]
