The Tinaztepe class were two destroyers built in Italy for the Turkish Navy in the 1930s.

These ships were versions of the contemporary Italian Folgore-class destroyer or Freccia-class destroyer and were purchased while being built for the Italian Navy. In contrast with other Italian destroyers built for export, they had their main armament mounted in two twin turrets.
