The Russalka (also Rusalka, , mermaid), was an ironclad monitor of the Imperial Russian Navy, built in St. Petersburg in 1865-1867. She was 204 feet long, had a beam of 42 feet, and carried armament of various calibers; her heaviest guns were two nine-inch cannon. The ironclad was on active service with the Russian Navy in the Baltic Sea from 1867 until she sank in the Gulf of Finland on 7 September 1893, while steaming from Reval () to Helsingfors (). (Both Estonia and Finland were at that time part of the Russian Empire.) All 177 of her crew were lost.
