Maine Maritime Academy (Maine Maritime or MMA) is a public college focused on maritime training and located in Castine, Maine. The academy was established by the 90th Maine Legislature on March 21, 1941. Unlike federal service academies, a congressional recommendation is not required to attend this state school. Students are not obligated to go to sea or into the military after graduation, and a large portion of the graduating class chooses shore-side employment, often in maritime-related fields or the power generation industry.

Maine Maritime Academy is one of six, non-federal, maritime training colleges in the United States and one of only two that fields a Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) unit. The college is affiliated under the New England Commission of Higher Education.

Maine Maritime Academy is located in Castine, Maine.

Maine Maritime athletic teams are the Mariners. The academy is a member of the Division III level of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), primarily competing in the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) for most of its sports since the 1996–97 academic year;[3] with the football team playing in the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC), and the sailing teams playing in the Division I level of the New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association (NEISA).

Each of the academy's training ships bear the same name, TS State of Maine, during their respective time in service as the academy training ship.
