BAP Almirante Guise was a destroyer in service with the Peruvian Navy from 1933 to 1954. She was a rebuilt type of the Russian Izijaslav class Avtroil and later renamed Lennuk destroyer. This vessel was built to the design of Chantiers et Ateliers Augustin Normand, Le Havre.

She was captured by British cruisers and destroyers in the Baltic in December 1918, and transferred to Estonia, from whom she was purchased by the Peruvian Navy in 1933. Almirante Guise was finally scrapped in 1954.
