At least five ships of the Imperial Russian Navy have been named Oryol (Eagle). The name is often rendered in English-language sources as Orel, but this is a bad transliteration of the Cyrillic.

  • Russian frigate Oryol - frigate destroyed at Astrakhan by rebels in 1670
  • Russian ship of the line Oryol (1807) - 74-gun ship of the line that fought in the Napoleonic Wars and was scrapped in 1833
  • Russian ship of the line Oryol (1833) - 74-gun ship of the line scrapped in 1848
  • Russian ship of the line Oryol (1854) - 84-gun ship of the line converted to steam power while still under construction
  • Russian battleship Oryol - Borodino-class pre-dreadnought battleship captured by Japan during the Battle of Tsushima in 1905
