The Imperatritsa Mariya class were the first dreadnought battleships built for the Black Sea Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy. All three ships were built by Rossud Dockyard, Nikolayev. They were generally similar in layout and capabilities to contemporary Gangut-class battleships. Two of the battleships were in service with the Imperial Russian Navy during World War I. None were commissioned with the successor Soviet Navy.
Imperatritsa Mariya class battleships: Imperatritsa Mariya; Imperatritsa Ekaterina Velikaya (renamed Svobodnaya Rossiya in 1917); Imperator Aleksander III (renamed Volya in 1917 and General Alekseev in 1920).
