The Commander-in-Chief, Naval Home Command, (CINCNAVHOME) was a senior Royal Navy post that existed from 1969 to 2012. Naval Home Command was a name given to the military formation, establishments, and staff administered under the post.

Prior to the formation of this command the Royal Navy has usually been split into several commands, each with its own Commander-in-Chief. In July 1969 the office was created following further downsizing of naval commands within the Royal Navy. This resulted in the offices of the Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth and Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth being combined to create single new post of Commander-in-Chief, Naval Home Command (CINCNAVHOME). In 1994 the post of Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command was unified with that of the Second Sea Lord following the rationalisation of the British Armed Forces following the end of the Cold War. In 2012, separate existing senior commands were discontinued, with full operational command being vested instead in the First Sea Lord.

The Commander-in-Chief was responsible for maintaining operational capability by providing correctly trained manpower to the fleet, the office existed from 1969 to 2012.
