The '''''Falcon-class'' destroyers''' were a batch of three destroyers, built for the [[Royal Navy]] between 1899 and 1901 and serving in the [[First World War]]. The destroyers were sometimes referred to as the Falcon-class, after the lead ship of the batch [[HMS Falcon (1899)|HMS Falcon]], however they were officially classified as part of the [[Gipsy-class destroyer|Gipsy-class.]]
