INS Rana (lit. 'King') is a Rajput-class destroyer in active service with the Indian Navy. She was commissioned on 19 Feb 1982.

She was the only ship of her class which was not upgraded like the other two ships, which had been upgraded with Israeli Barak 1 missiles and EL/M-2238 STAR radars. An upgrade in 2022 armed her with new short range SAM VL-SRSAM in 8 × 2 cell VLS configuration replacing one S-125 Neva/Pechora launcher in the Aft. It was also seen with 4 panels of AESA radar as fire-control radar.

By early 2025, Rana was first modified, with the forward S-125M SAM launcher and her Styx missile tubes being removed, with the ship also serving as a test ship for new systems.
