ORP Horodyszcze was a Polish river monitor (river gunboat) from the interwar period and World War II. The launch took place in 1920, and the unit was commissioned in 1921. The total length of the ship at the time of launching was 34.5 meters and a width of 5.05 meters. Displacement reached approx. 112 tons. The armament consisted of 2 75mm guns, a single 100mm howitzer and 4 machine guns.
ORP Horodyszcze was built with three twin monitors: ORP Warszawa, ORP Toruń and ORP Pińsk in Gdańsk Shipyard. In 1923 and 1924, the unit participated in maneuvers in the Bay of Puck, and in 1926 it was assigned to the Pinsk Flotilla. The unit did not take an active part in the September campaign, and after the Soviets entered, the ship withdrew to the west and was self-sunk by the crew in Pripyat on September 18, 1939. However, already in October of the same year, the wreck was excavated by the Russians, renovated and, shortly after, incorporated into the Dnieper Flotilla, and later (from July 1940) to the Soviet Pinsk Flotilla. The vessel was self-sunk by the crew for the second time on August 31, 1941.
