The Number 64 class (Chinese: 六十四號; pinyin: Liùshísì Hào), also known as the Monfalcone light cruisers or Monfalcone type light cruisers, was a planned class of protected cruisers ordered for the Republic of China Navy. None were completed due to the start of World War I and were eventually scrapped. The ships were not given names, being known only by their yard construction numbers, 64–66.
