Natsuzuki (夏月, "Summer Moon") was an Akizuki-class destroyer of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during the final stages of World War II.

The Akizuki-class ships were originally designed as anti-aircraft escorts for carrier battle groups, but were modified with torpedo tubes and depth charges to meet the need for more general-purpose destroyers.

The ships carried enough fuel oil to give them ranges of 8,300 nautical miles (15,400 km; 9,600 mi) at speeds of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph).

[4] The main armament of the Akizuki class consisted of eight 10 cm Type 98 dual-purpose guns in four twin-gun turrets, one superfiring pair fore and aft of the superstructure.

[9] The ship was turned over to Allied forces at Moji at the time of the surrender of Japan on 2 September and was stricken from the navy list on 5 October.
