The Hai Yung class (Chinese: 海容; pinyin: Hǎiróng) was a class of protected cruisers built for the Qing Dynasty from 1897 to 1898 and would then pass to the new Republic of China Navy. The ships would serve during the National Protection War, World War I, the Second Zhili–Fengtian War, and the Northern Expedition.
