SMS Tiger was a steam gunboat of the Jäger class built for the Prussian Navy in the late 1850s and early 1860s. The ship was ordered as part of a program to strengthen Prussia's coastal defense forces, then oriented against neighboring Denmark. She was armed with a battery of three guns. The ship saw very little activity during her career. She was activated during the three wars of German unification: the Second Schleswig War against Denmark in 1864. the Austro-Prussian War in 1866, and the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. She saw no action during the first and last conflict, but she took part in operations against the Kingdom of Hanover during the Austro-Prussian War. Tiger served in a variety of roles in the mid-1870s and was eventually discarded in 1877. The ship was thereafter used as a storage barge in Wilhelmshaven. Her ultimate fate is unknown.
