Shinonome (東雲, "Dawn Cloud") was one of six Murakumo-class destroyers built for the Imperial Japanese Navy in the late 1890s. Shinonome took part in several major engagements during the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905) and was wrecked in 1913.
Some sources regard Shinonome as the lead ship of her class and refer to the Murakumo class as the Shinonome class.
