HSwMS Psilander (18) was a Psilander-class destroyer of the Swedish Navy from 1940 to 1947. The ship was purchased from Italy by Sweden in 1940, along with her sister ship HSwMS Puke. Before that, she served in the Regia Marina (Royal Italian Navy) as Giovanni Nicotera, one of four members of the Italian Sella class. Psilander was scrapped in 1949.
