HNoMS "Stord" was an S-class destroyer that served with the Royal Norwegian Navy during World War II. She was laid down as HMS "Success", but transferred to the Norwegians before completion. She was remamed HNoMS "Stord" when commissioned into the Royal Norwegian Navy on 26 August 1943.

"Stord" served in the Home Fleet in the 23rd Destroyer Flotilla. She played an important role in the sinking of the German battlecruiser "Scharnhorst". In 1944 she also took part in the Normandy landings. "Stord" was officially purchased from the UK government in 1946 and scrapped in Belgium in 1959.
