Two battleships of the Imperial Russian Navy have been named Sevastopol, after the city located in the Crimea:

  • Russian battleship Sevastopol (1895) was a Petropavlovsk-class battleship launched in 1895. She was sunk by the Japanese in 1905 at Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese War.
  • Russian battleship Sevastopol (1911) was the first ship completed of the Gangut-class battleships. She served in the Gulf of Finland during World War I and in the Black Sea during World War II. She was broken up in 1957.
