Tachibana (橘) was a Sakura-class destroyer of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Tachibana and her sister ship Sakura were at first planned to be large ocean-going vessels however due to financial problems they were redesigned to a smaller type.

Unlike the preceding Umikaze class, which was powered by Parsons turbines, Sakura and Tachibana were installed with Kanpon vertical expansion engines.

The ship, built at the Maizuru Naval Arsenal, was launched and completed in 1912, and entered service shortly afterward.
