The Uruguay Naval Academy (ESNAL) (Spanish: Escuela Naval de Uruguay) is an training institute that educates officers for commissioning primarily into the Uruguayan National Navy. It is located at Calle Miramar 1643, Barrio Carrrasco, Montevideo.

Initially, Navy officers trained at the Military School (dependent on the National Army of Uruguay) until December 12, 1907, the Naval Academy was founded.[1]

It is the only institute in the country that grants the title of Officer of the National Navy or Merchant Navy, graduating as Midshipmen and as Second Officers for each career, respectively; Training and certification courses are also held for seafarers, according to the regulations of the International Maritime Organization (IMO).[2] In the Naval Academy, fifth and sixth secondary education, the Naval Baccalaureate, can be taken as undergraduate education.
