This is a list of the vice-admirals of Ulster, a province in the north of Ireland.

Prior to 1585, the whole of Ireland was served by a single vice-admiral, namely: the 3rd Earl of Sussex (1558–1565); the 11th Earl of Kildare (1564–1573); and the 10th Earl of Ormonde (1585). Separate vice-admiralties were then established for Munster in 1585, for Ulster by 1602, for Leinster by 1612 and for Connaught by 1615.^[1]
