Naval Artillery War Badge or the War Badge for Naval Artillery (German: Kriegsabzeichen für Marineartillerie) is a German military decoration awarded for service to the crews of Kriegsmarine land-based marine artillery and anti-aircraft units. A crew could receive an award by achievement of eight points (two for downing an aircraft unassisted, one for downing an aircraft assisted, and five for aiding in the downing of aircraft for radar, searchlight or other such units).

The War Badge is worn on the lower part of the left breast pocket of the naval service tunic, underneath the 1st class Iron Cross, if awarded, or equivalent grade award.

The badge was issued in a single degree only. A version of the Naval Artillery War Badge with diamonds was discussed amongst Kriegsmarine leaders, but no regulations were ever established regarding a diamonds version of the badge nor was a Naval Artillery War Badge with diamonds ever produced.
