The Kamchatka Military Flotilla () is a flotilla of the Russian Navy. On December 14, 1849, in accordance with the Decree of Emperor Nicholas I, the Okhotsk military flotilla was transferred to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in Kamchatka. Thus December 14 became marked as the celebratory "Day" of the flotilla/NEGTF.

The Kamchatka Military Flotilla was formed on December 1, 1945 by order of the People's Commissar of the Navy.Захаров С. Е., Багров В. Н., Бевз С. С., Захаров М. Н., М. П. Котухов. Краснознаменный Тихоокеанский флот. — Изд. 2-е, испр. и доп. — Moscow, Voenizdat, 1973. — 320 с.

In March 1998 the Northeastern Group of Troops and Forces was created from the Kamchatka Flotilla.
