Department H is a fictional organization in the Marvel Universe. It is a branch of the Canadian Department of National Defence and is also responsible for the recruitment, provisioning, administration and deployment of Alpha Flight.

It employed many a mutant and other superhuman to fight for Canada by joining their three tier "Flight" program. The first tier was a training team called Gamma Flight, where members would move into a transition team known as Beta Flight where they received advanced training before joining the premier team of Alpha Flight.

The Department is also known to have connections to an orphanage in Orloo, Ontario called Hull House, from which it has recruited superhuman agents in the past.

Beyond its superhuman resources, Department H also makes use of soldiers outfitted with hi-tech arms and armor called Epsilons.
