The '''''Hatakaze''-class''' of guided-missile destroyers is a third generation class of vessels in service with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). They were the first of the JMSDF's ships to have gas-turbine propulsion.

The core weapon suite of the class is similar to that of the preceding {{sclass|Tachikaze|destroyer|4}}, but various improvements were made in many areas. Most notable are those that allow the ''Hatakaze''-class to function as a group flagship. Normally, this duty resides with a larger type of ship, but, in case of their absence due to repairs, accident, or battle damage, the ''Hatakaze'' design allows for it to function as a command ship.

''Hatakaze'' destroyers operate the OYQ-4-1 type tactical control system. Its weapon systems include the Standard missile surface-to-air missile, anti-submarine rockets, the RGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missile, two Mark 15 20 mm CIWS gun mounts, two torpedo mounts in a triple tube configuration, and two 5 inch/54 caliber Mark 42 rapid-fire guns.{{Citation needed|date=March 2026}}
