The Submarine Medical Insignia is a badge of the United States Navy which is presented to medical officers of the Navy Medical Corps who have received training and qualification in submarine warfare and medical expertise. Typically, the Submarine Medical Insignia is presented to Navy Doctors who are posted as full time Medical Officers onboard United States submarines.

To obtain the Submarine Medical Insignia, a doctor must complete an abbreviated version of the training required for the standard Submarine Warfare Insignia. Such training normally involves damage control, shipboard operations, and a limited amount of tactical knowledge.

The Personal Qualification Standard (PQS), for the Submarine Medical Insignia, also contain medical specific knowledge applicable to the close quarters and unique environment of practicing medicine on a submarine.
