The Maestrale class were a group of destroyers built for the Regia Marina (Royal Italian Navy) and served in World War II.

They formed the basis for subsequent Italian destroyer designs; the Oriani and Soldati classes.

The Maestrale-class destroyers were a completely new design intended to rectify the stability problems of the preceding Folgore class.

[1] Their main battery consisted of four 50-caliber 120-millimeter (4.7 in) guns in two twin-gun turrets, one each fore and aft of the superstructure.

Although the ships were not provided with a sonar system for anti-submarine work, they were fitted with a pair of depth charge throwers.
