Tamanami (玉波, "Bejeweled Wave") was a Yūgumo-class destroyer of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
On 7 July 1944, Tamanami was escorting the tanker Kokuyo Maru from Singapore towards Manila, Philippines. She was torpedoed by USS Mingo (SS-261), 280 km (170 mi) west-southwest of Manila (13°55′N 118°30′E / 13.917°N 118.5°E). Tamanami blew up and sank with all hands.
