John Phelan is an American businessman who served as the 79th United States Secretary of the Navy during Donald Trump's presidency. His tenure involved overseeing the Department of the Navy, which includes the Marine Corps and the Navy itself, and managing its substantial budget and personnel. As Secretary, he played a role in shaping naval policy, modernization efforts, and strategic initiatives. Prior to his political appointment, Phelan had a career in the private sector.
In August 2024, the Phelans hosted a private fundraising dinner for Trump, where guests donated between $25,000 and $500,000 apiece.
On November 27, 2024, President-elect Trump announced Phelan as his nominee for United States Secretary of the Navy, drawing attention due to his lack of prior military or defense industry experience.
