The Secretary of State of the Navy (French: Secrétaire d'État de la Marine) was one of the four or five specialised secretaries of state in France during the Ancien Régime. This officeholder was responsible for the French Navy and for all of the French colonies. In 1791, at the end of the French Monarchy during the French Revolution, this title was changed to Minister of the Navy.
