ORP Dzik was a Polish minesweeper from the Cold War era, one of nine vessels built under a Soviet license as part of the Project 254M series. Launched on 16 October 1957 at the Stocznia Gdynia, the ship entered service with the Polish Navy on 28 June 1958. Bearing hull designations T-64 and later 604, this heavily utilized vessel spent most of its career with the 12th Base Minesweeper Squadron of the 8th Coastal Defence Flotilla in Świnoujście. After over 30 years of service, it was decommissioned in May 1990 and subsequently scrapped.
