Maya (摩耶) was an iron-hulled, steam gunboat, serving in the early Imperial Japanese Navy.

Maya was an iron-ribbed, iron-sheathed, two-masted gunboat with a horizontal double expansion reciprocating steam engine with two cylindrical boilers driving two screws.

[3] During the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, Maya assisted in the Siege of Port Arthur, and also made a sortie up the Yalu River to attack Russian positions, and was part of the Japanese fleet for the invasion of Sakhalin.

Maya was removed from the navy list and transferred to the Home Ministry on 1 December 1911[3] for use as a police boat in Kobe harbor.

She was subsequently demilitarized and sold in December 1918 to a commercial trading firm, Ikeda Shoji, who used her as a transport until she was scrapped in 1932.
