The Spanish ironclad Sagunto was a wooden-hulled armored frigate built for the Royal Spanish Navy (Armada Real) in the 1860s and 1870s. She was originally built as a large ship of the line, but was converted into a central-battery ironclad while still under construction. She was stricken from the naval register in 1891.
