Navarchos Miaoulis (Greek: Ναύαρχος Μιαούλης, "Admiral Miaoulis") was a 1,820 ton Greek masted cruiser (in Greek termed Εύδρομο) named for the admiral Andreas Miaoulis, the leader of the Greek rebels' fleet during the Greek War of Independence (1821-1829).

6 × 37 mm (1 in) 1-pounder guns in single mounts
Navarchos Miaoulis was built by Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerranée in France, and she was purchased by Greece as part of their program of naval expansion after the unsuccessful Cretanuprising of 1866. She was soon rendered operationally obsolete with the acquisition of newer, faster and larger ships such as the battleshipSpetsai and was made into a training ship. She served on active duty in this capacity until decommissioned in 1931.
