The HMS Vittoria was a British destroyer of the Admiralty V class. The ship was built by Swan Hunter and launched on October 29, 1917. It was converted to a minelayer, and was torpedoed by the Bolshevik submarine Pantera off the island of Seiskari in the Gulf of Finland on September 1, 1919.

The sunken destroyer was given to the state of Finland on December 12, 1919 together with its sister ship the HMS Verulam, but when salvaging began in 1925 it was found that both ships were broken in two and impossible to repair.
