The Commander of the Egyptian Navy (Egyptian Arabic: قائد القوات البحرية, romanized: Qā'id al-quwāt al-baḥriyya) is the highest-ranking officer of the Egyptian Navy usually held by a vice admiral.[1] It is responsible for overseeing all naval operations, personnel, and strategic initiatives. It is appointed by the president.[2]

Article 203 of the Egyptian constitution, as specified under the Branch II National Defense Council, designates the naval commander as the head of the naval forces. This legal framework outlines the responsibilities and authority of the naval commander in overseeing the operations, administration, and strategic initiatives of Egypt's naval forces.[3]
