SMS V46 was a 1913 Type Large Torpedo Boat (Großes Torpedoboot) of the Imperial German Navy during World War I. She was built by AG Vulcan at their Stettin shipyard, being launched on 23 December 1914 and completing in October 1915. V46 was part of the German High Seas Fleet during the war, and took part in the Battle of Jutland on 31 May 1916. In 1917, she, along with the rest of her flotilla, was deployed to Flanders, taking part in raids against allied shipping and the Dover Barrage, before returning the Germany. In October 1917, V46 took part in Operation Albion, the German landings on the West Estonian archipelago. V46 was interned at Scapa Flow after the end on the fighting, and after attempts to scuttle her on 21 June 1919 failed, was transferred to France in 1920 and scrapped in 1924.
