Akatsuki (暁, "Daybreak") was the lead ship of two Akatsuki-class destroyers, built for the Imperial Japanese Navy in the early 1900s. Akatsuki took part in the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905), during which she participated in the Battle of Port Arthur in February 1904, then struck a mine and sank in May 1904.
