The Minister for the Navy (Danish: Marineministeren) was the Danish minister responsible for the administration of the Royal Danish Navy.[1]

History

The position of Minister for the Navy was created following the end of the Absolute monarchy, when the Admiralty (Danish: Admiralitetet) was disbanded, and power transferred to elected officials.[1] While the Minister of War and the Minister for the Navy's positions were merged in 1905, the Ministries continued to exists separately until 1950.[1]
