The Kola class was the NATO reporting name for a group of frigates built for the Soviet Navy in the 1950s.

These ships were analogous to World War II era destroyer escorts or German Elbing-class torpedo boats.

The programme consisted of only 8 ships as these vessels were considered to be too expensive for series production and the smaller and cheaper Riga-class frigate was built instead.

Armament consisted of four single 100 millimetres (3.9 in) dual purpose guns and torpedo tubes.

They were the first major ships built there after the transfer of the area to Soviet rule following World War II.
