ITU School of Maritime (Turkish: İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi, Denizcilik Fakültesi) is a faculty of the Istanbul Technical University in Turkey, which is dedicated to maritime science and technology.

During the Republican era, it was renamed as the High Maritime School (Turkish: Yuksek Denizcilik Okulu) 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.
