The Teniente Serrano was a destroyer commissioned by the Chilean Navy in 1896. It was built by Laird Brothers along with three other destroyers: Capitán Orella, Capitán Muñoz Gamero and Guardiamarina Riquelme (later Lientur).
They were steel-hulled torpedo boat destroyers with a turtleback forecastle and four funnels. These ships were, when built, the most advanced ships of their type in Latin America, closely related to contemporary British destroyers. On trials the vessels made 30.1–30.42 kn on 6313–6398hp.
