Two battleships of the Imperial Russian Navy have been named "Poltava", after the Battle of Poltava:

*"Poltava" was a "Petropavlovsk" class battleship launched in 1894. She was captured by the Japanese in 1905 and became the Japanese battleship "Tango". She was returned to Russia in 1916 and renamed "Chesma". She was captured again by the British in 1923 and scrapped.
*"Poltava" was a "Gangut" class battleship launched in 1911. She was renamed "Frunze" after the October Revolution, was scuttled as a blockship in 1941, raised in 1944, and scrapped in 1956.
