The HNoMS Kjell was a Lyn class torpedo boat of the Royal Norwegian Navy. Launched in Norway in 1912, she was captured by the Germans in 1940 during the German invasion of Norway in World War II. The Germans used her as a patrol boat under the names Grenadier and later NK02 Dragoner.
The ship was sunk near Mandal 28 September 1944 by British airmen of the 248. Royal Air Force squadron. Seven German sailors lost their lives.
