There are two ships in the Colombian Navy which have borne the name ARC 7 de Agosto.

ARC 7 de Agosto (D-06) was a Swedish-built destroyer of the Colombian Navy. The ship, laid down in November 1955 as 13 de Junio, was built by the firm of Gotaverken in Gothenburg to the same design as the Royal Swedish Navy's Halland class of destroyers, with the exception that they had a third 120mm turret in place of the 57mm AA turret. The ship was launched on 19 June 1956 and completed on 31 October 1958. After a career that spanned almost 30 years, the ship was scrapped in 1986.

ARC 7 de Agosto (PZE-47) is a Colombian-built large offshore patrol vessel of the Colombian Navy. The ship, laid down in August 2013, was built by the firm Cotecmar in Cartagena, Colombia, and used the German design of the Fassmer OVP 80, modified to fulfill the requirements of the Colombian Navy. The construction, modified design and engineering was made by Colombians.
