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.

In Portugal, a later class of destroyers, the Douro class, was used by the Portuguese Navy between 1933 and 1967; it is usually referred to as the Vouga class.
