G Class is one of the frigate classes of the Turkish Navy.

A total of eight G Class frigates are currently operated by the Turkish Navy. They are named as TCG GAZİANTEP (F-490), TCG GİRESUN (F-491), TCG GEMLİK (F-492), TCG GELİBOLU (F-493), TCG GÖKÇEADA (F-494), TCG GEDİZ (F-495), TCG GÖKOVA (F-496), TCG GÖKSU (F-497).
