Sergey Kotov (Russian: Сергей Котов) was a Project 22160 patrol ship of the Russian Navy. She was attacked in the Black Sea by Ukrainian forces using MAGURA V5 maritime drones on 5 March 2024, and Ukrainian intelligence claimed the ship was sunk.

The ship is named after Russian counter admiral Sergey Kotov (1912–1999).

The ship was the third notable Russian warship sunk by Ukrainian forces in 2024, after Ivanovets on 1 February and Tsezar Kunikov on 14 February.
