was an escort ship of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. Like her sister ship Ishigaki, Hachijo spent most of her early career in the Kuriles escorting ships. On 19 February 1943, Hachijo barely missed meeting her doom when she was detached from escorting Akagane Maru to Attu in the morning. That evening, Akagane Maru ran into the heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis with two destroyers and was sunk.
