The torpedo boat Panormos (Greek: TA Πανόρμος) served in the Royal Hellenic Navy from 1919–1928. Originally the ship was the Austro-Hungarian Fiume-class torpedo boat SMS Tb 92-F. She was named for the city of Panormos (today known as Bandırma) located on the Sea of Marmara; the city was part of the territory awarded to Greece for joining the side of the allied in the Treaty of Sèvres at the end of World War I.

The ship, along with two sister ships of the Fiume-class torpedo boats Pergamos and Proussa was transferred to Greece as a war reparation from the Central Powers in 1919[2] and were named after cities in Asia Minor.
