Navantia is a Spanish state-owned shipbuilding enterprise dedicated to civil and military naval construction, the design of deep-tech systems and the manufacture of structures for the renewable energy sector, such as offshore wind or hydrogen.

It was established in 2005 following the segregation of the military assets of the IZAR Group. The company designs, builds, and supports different types of surface vessels, submarines, and systems. It directly employs nearly 5,000 workers distributed among its operating centers in La Coruña, Cádiz, Cartagena and Madrid. Following the acquisition of Harland & Wolff, Navantia employs around 1,000 people in the United Kingdom and has shipyards in Belfast, Arnish, Appledore and Methil.

Navantia is the fifth-largest shipbuilder in Europe and the ninth-largest in the world. The company is also expanding into markets such as renewable energy, the offshore industry and naval services.
