{{nihongo|'''''Akitsushima'''''|秋津洲 bōgojunyōkan|}} was a 2nd class [[protected cruiser]] of the [[Imperial Japanese Navy]], designed and built by the [[Yokosuka Naval Arsenal]] in [[Japan]]. The name ''Akitsushima'' comes from an ancient name for Japan, as used in the ancient chronicle ''[[Kojiki]]''. It should not be confused with the later [[Pacific War]] era [[seaplane tender]] of the same name.
