A NetNavi (ネットナビ), known as a Network Navigator (ネットワークナビゲーター) in full or a Navi (ナビ) for short, is a kind of computer program appearing in the Battle Network era and Star Force era. They are sentient programs with thoughts and personalities who can work together with human companions called NetOps, exploring and interacting with the internet across the Cyberworld. Many NetNavis are based on characters from other games in the Mega Man series, especially Robot Masters from the Classic era.

In Mega Man Star Force, approximately a century has passed, so NetNavis are not as ubiquitous as they once were. They are used more for mundane electronic tasks and managing appliances, rather than engaging in NetBattles. Geo Stelar can obtain them via Navi Cards, which can then be loaded to perform certain functions.
