Three ships of the Polish Navy have been named ORP Orkan (Polish: windstorm):

Orkan was the planned name for the second improved Grom-class destroyer. She was never laid down; the German invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939 interrupted her construction and the materials intended for her construction were scrapped or diverted.
ORP Orkan (G90), an M-class destroyer (formerly HMS Myrmidon) transferred to the free Polish Navy based in Britain in December 1942. She was sunk by U-378 on 8 October 1943 in the Barents Sea.
