The Naval Museum of Uruguay (Spanish: Museo Naval de Uruguay) is located in the Rambla de Gaulle s/n, Pocitos neighbourhood, Montevideo, Uruguay.

It hosts a number of historical cannons, as well as models, photographs and memorabilia of the Uruguayan Navy. It also has a library and an archive. It is located between Playa de los Pocitos and Puerto del Buceo.

Remodeling

Since 2011, the museum has begun to apply signs with Braille writing on several of the pieces. A wooden and metal path was also built to guide the blind during their visit.
