The Notoro-class oilers (能登呂型給油艦, Notoro-gata kyūyukan) were a class of seven oilers of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN), serving during the 1920s and World War II. They were also called the Erimo-class oilers (襟裳型給油艦, Erimo-gata kyūyukan), after Notoro and Shiretoko were converted to other ship types.
