The Greek destroyer (τορπιλλοβόλον) Doxa (Greek: Δόξα, "glory"), served in the Royal Hellenic Navy from 1907-1917. She was one of four Niki-class destroyers ordered from Germany in 1905 and was built in the Vulcan shipyard at Stettin.
She saw action in the First Balkan War in 1912–13 under Alexandros Chatzikyriakos. During World War I, Greece did not enter the war on the side of the Triple Entente until 1917 and, due to Greece's neutrality the four Niki-class ships had been seized by the Allies in October 1916, taken over by the French in November and served in the French Navy until 1917. On 27 June 1917, while serving with the French Navy on escort duty, Doxa was attacked and sunk by the German u-boat UB-47 in the Straits of Messina at 38°08′N 15°35′E, resulting in 29 deaths.
