The Astilleros y Maestranzas de la Armada (English: Navy Shipyards and Armories), better known by the acronym ASMAR, is a Chilean state-owned shipbuilding company with autonomous administration, which provides services to the Chilean Navy, mainly, and also to other domestic and foreign customers. Its predecessor was Arsenales de Marina, created in 1895, until it was restructured and adopted its current name on April 6, 1960.

It is the largest and most important shipbuilding and repair company in Chile, with three facilities located in Valparaíso, Talcahuano and Punta Arenas. The company's registered office is in Valparaíso, while its main plant is in Talcahuano.
