The Izumo (出雲) was an armored cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy built in Elswick, Great Britain by Armstrong Whitworth. Although very similar to the Asama-class cruisers Asama and Tokiwa, its differences are significant enough to class it as the lead ship in the separate Izumo-class, which also included its sister-ship, the Iwate.
