Natori (なとり) is a frigate of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF), and the ninth ship of the Mogami class. She is named after the Natori River, which flows through the cities of Natori and Sendai in the Miyagi Prefecture, and the second ship to be named this way, after the Imperial Japanese Navy's Nagara-class cruiser Natori, as well as the first in the JMSDF era.
