Unterseeboot 10 (also known as U-10) was a German U-boat built before World War II for service in the Kriegsmarine. As she was one of the first batch of boats built following the reunuciation of the Treaty of Versailles, she was a Type II U-boat, and thus capable of only coastal and short cruising work. This led to her being reassigned to training duties after the Norwegian campaign of 1940 together with many of her sister boats.
During the war U-10 sank two vessels:
- The Norwegian 1,819 ton Kvernaas, on February 17 1940.
- The Dutch 4,537 ton Ameland, on February 18 1940.
After training duties in almost 5 years she was stricken August 1, 1944 at Danzig and broken up.
