The Tinaztepe class were two destroyers built in Italy for the Turkish Navy in the 1930s.

These ships were versions of the contemporary Italian {{sclass|Folgore|destroyer|1}}{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} or {{sclass|Freccia|destroyer|1}}Robert Gardiner, Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1922-1946, Naval Institute Press, 1980, p. 407. and were purchased while being built for the Italian Navy. In contrast with other Italian destroyers built for export, they had their main armament mounted in two twin turrets.
