In the fictional Star Wars galaxy, the Imperial Navy, or more properly, the Imperial Starfleet, was the military arm of the Galactic Empire charged with maintaining security in Imperial space. At its peak, it fielded millions of warships and fulfilled the Emperor's will throughout the galaxy. After defeat at the Battle of Endor, the Galactic Empire split up into warring factions and the Imperial Starfleet splintered along with it. While much of the remnants of the Imperial Navy were later reunited under impressive Imperial commanders, the military organization covered in this article ceased to exist shortly after the death of the Emperor.

The Imperial Navy also performs orbital bombardments, transports major ground force deployments and supports them with space and aerial support.

The Imperial Navy conducted itself by the Imperial Naval Code, a set of martial laws and regulations created to guide the massive military organization. The vast majority of personnel in the Imperial Navy are human male, although a few exceptions have been seen in the service, such as Admiral Daala or Grand Admiral Thrawn.
