Navarchos Miaoulis (Greek: Κ/Δ Ναύαρχος Μιαούλης) was a 1,820 ton Greek masted cruiser (in Greek Εύδρομο) named for a naval commander Andreas Miaoulis of the Greek War of Independence from 1821-1829.
Navarchos Miaoulis was built by Forges & Chantiers de La Med La Seyne in France, and she was purchased by Greece as part of their program of naval expansion after the unsuccessful Cretan uprising of 1866. She was soon rendered operationally obsolete with the acquisition of newer, faster and larger ships such as the battleship Spetsai and was made into a training ship. She served on active duty in this capacity until Navarchos Miaoulis was decommissioned in 1931.
