'''INS ''Rajput''''' is a [[guided-missile destroyer]] and the lead ship of the {{sclass-|Rajput|destroyer|4}} of the [[Indian Navy]]. She was [[Ship commissioning|commissioned]] on 4 May 1980. Commodore (later Vice Admiral) [[Gulab Mohanlal Hiranandani]] was her first commanding officer.

''Rajput'' served as a trial platform for the [[BrahMos]] cruise missile. The two P-20M inclined single launchers (port and starboard) were replaced by two boxed launchers, each with two BrahMos cells.
