This is a list of equipment used by the Philippine Navy, the branch of the Armed Forces of the Philippines specializing in naval warfare. The service has made use of its existing equipment to fulfill its mandate while modernization projects are underway. Republic Act No. 7898 declares the policy of the State to modernize the military to a level where it can effectively and fully perform its constitutional mandate to uphold the sovereignty and preserve the patrimony of the Republic. The law, as amended, sets conditions that should be satisfied when the defense department procures major equipment and weapon systems for the navy.
For the retired naval ships of the service, see the list of decommissioned ships of the Philippine Navy.

Jose Rizal class frigate
Frigates made by South Korea's Hyundai Heavy Industries based on the shipbuilder's HDF-2600 design, acquired under the Horizon 1 phase of the Revised AFP Modernization Program. The first ship BRP Jose Rizal was delivered in May 2020, and BRP Antonio Luna on March 21, 2021. However, due to budgetary constraints set during initial stages of the acquisition project, the initial two ships of the class come "fitted for but not with" (FFBNW) several subsystems, including a Close-in Weapon System (CIWS), a Vertical Launching System (VLS), and a Towed Array Sonar System (TASS) as well as several electronic subsystems. These systems are planned to be acquired and installed at an unspecified date.

Amphibious warfare vessels
Tarlac-class landing platform dock
New Indonesian-made landing platform docks, current the Philippine Navy's foremost amphibious warfare platform and its first major brand new ship acquisition since the 1990s. It was acquired under the "Strategic Sealift Vessel" project and was based on the Indonesian Makassar-class landing platform dock. The ships can carry a Philippine Marine Battalion Landing Team (MBLT) with up to 500 fully armed Marines with their vehicles and equipment, and can also carry two small landing craft utilities (LCU). It has a helicopter deck capable of accommodating 2 12-tonne helicopters, as well as a hangar for 1 helicopter.
