Diplomasi kapal perang

Dalam politik internasional, diplomasi kapal perang (atau "Ideologi Tongkat Besar" dalam sejarah AS)merujuk kepada kebijakan asing dengan bantuan pengerahan kekuatan angkatan laut—yang memberikan atau mencetak ancaman perang langsung, sehingga seharusnya istilah tersebut tidak ditujukan kepada pasukan superior.

Asal muasal istilah 
Istilah tersebut datang dari zaman imperialisme pada abad kesembilan belas, dimana bangsa-bangsa Eropa bersaing satu sama lain.

Sejumlah contoh diplomasi kapal perang terkenal dan kontroversial adalah Insiden Don Pacifico pada 1850, dimana Sekretaris Luar Negeri Inggris Lord Palmerston menempatkan sebuah skuadron Royal Navy untuk memblokade pelabuhan Yunani Piraeus dalam rangka membalas perlakuan tidak menyenangkan terhadap seorang Inggris, David Pacifico, di Athena, dan kegagalan berkelanjutan pemerintah Raja Otto untuk mengkompensasikan kelahiran Gibraltar (dan kemudian Inggris) Pacifico.
