SMS Albatross was a gunboat, the lead ship of the Albatross class, which were built for the German Kaiserliche Marine in the late 1860s and early 1870s. The ship was ordered as part of a construction program intended to begin replacing the old Jäger-class gunboats that had been built a decade earlier. Unlike the older ships, Albatross was intended to serve abroad to protect German economic interests overseas. The ship was armed with a battery of four guns, and had a top speed of 10.5 knots.
