was a Yūgumo-class destroyer of the Imperial Japanese Navy. On 12 July 1943, Kiyonami was on a troop transport run to Kolombangara. In the Battle of Kolombangara, she contributed torpedoes to the spreads that sank USS Gwin (DD-433), and damaged USS Honolulu (CL-48) and USS St. Louis (CL-49). On 20 July Kiyonami was on another troop transport run to Kolombangara. She was sunk by U.S. Army B-25s while rescuing the crew of Yugure, 42 miles (78 km) north-northwest of Kolombangara (). There were no survivors from among the entire combined Kiyonami and Yugure crews of 468 men.
