The Izumrud class were a group of two protected cruisers built for the Imperial Russian Navy.

The two ships Izumrud ("emerald") and Zhemchug ("pearl"), were copies of newly designed cruiser, Novik, that was built at the Schichau yard in Danzig, German Empire. With the prototype purchased copies were soon underway at the Nyevsky Shipyard in St. Petersburg between 1901 and 1904.
