The Enoki-class destroyers (榎型駆逐艦, Enokigata kuchikukan) were a class of six destroyers of the Imperial Japanese Navy. As with the previous Momo class, all were named after trees. As Enoki and Nara were both commissioned on the same day, the class is also referred to as the Nara-class destroyers (楢型駆逐艦, Naragata kuchikukan).
