HTMS Phutthaloetla Naphalai (FFG 462) (Thai: พุทธเลิศหล้านภาลัย) is the former USS Ouellet (FF-1077), a Template:Sclass-.

The Royal Thai Navy purchased the ship from the US Navy after she was decommissioned on August 6, 1993. The ship subsequently underwent a US$14M refit at the Cascade General Shipyard, Portland, Oregon,^[1] and arrived in Thailand in 1998.

As a Template:Sclass-, she has a sister ship, the HTMS Phutthayotfa Chulalok (FFG 461).
