The Fu Po (Chinese:伏波, Fu-p'o) was a vessel of the Imperial Chinese Navy during the Sino-French War, where she was part of the Fujian Fleet under Zhang Peilun. She was present at the Battle of Fuzhou on 23 August 1884, where the Chinese fleet was defeated by the French Far East Squadron under Admiral Amédée Courbet. Fu Po was one of only two Chinese ships to escape destruction, sailing up river before the French could engage them.
