The Steamboat Inspection Service was a United States agency created in 1871 to safeguard lives and property at sea. It merged with the Bureau of Navigation in 1932 to form the Bureau of Navigation and Steamboat Inspection which in 1936 was reorganized into the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation which in turn came under the control of the United States Coast Guard in 1942 and was abolished with its functions transferred to the Coast Guard in 1946.
