ITU School of Maritime
ITU Maritime Faculty () is a faculty of the Istanbul Technical University in Turkey, which is dedicated to maritime science and technology.

The history of the faculty dates back to the "Merchant Navy Boarding School" (), which was established on December 5, 1884, at Heybeliada, Istanbul as a part of the Ottoman Naval Academy with the aim of strengthening civilian navigation and seamanship in the country. During the Republican era, it was renamed as the High Maritime School () and continued its activities in the following decades. Finally, in 1992, it is reorganized as Faculty of Maritime and tied to the Istanbul Technical University.

The school has two departments:
 Department of Maritime, Transportation and Management Engineering
 Department of Ship Machinery and Management Engineering

The campus is located in Tuzla, Istanbul.

The school possesses four vessels for training purposes:
 MV Akdeniz, a 1955 built decommissioned passenger ship, which is used as accommodation and training
 RV MTA Sismik 1, a 1942 built decommissioned research vessel
 Hopa, a tugboat
 Martı, a ship's tender.
