The Guadiana class was a class of four destroyers employed by the Portuguese Navy (Marinha Portuguesa) between 1913 and 1942. This class is often alternatively referred as the Douro class.

Note, that, in Portugal, there is a later Douro class of destroyers used by the Portuguese Navy between 1933 and 1967, usually referred to as the Vouga class.
