The Rajah Sulayman-class offshore patrol vessels are six ships designed and built by Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) for the Philippine Navy.

The Philippine Navy is expecting the delivery of six new offshore patrol vessels acquired under its Offshore Patrol Vessel Acquisition Project under the Revised AFP Modernization Program's Horizon 2 phase covering the years 2018 to 2022. The Philippines' Department of National Defense (DND) signed a contract with South Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries on 27 June 2022, with the shipbuilder delivering a variant of their HDP-2200+ offshore patrol vessel design.
