Two vessels built for the Royal Navy between 1880 and 1920 have been named HMS Revenge.

  • HMS Revenge was a pre-dreadnought of the Royal Sovereign Class launched in 1892. She was the oldest capital ship to take part in the First World War, and before retirement in 1915 she was renamed Redoubtable so as to free up the name for a new super-dreadnought.
  • HMS Revenge was a super-dreadnought of the Revenge Class, launched in 1915. She served throughout both World Wars, being present at Jutland and was eventually scrapped in 1948, having been reduced to a hulk in 1944.
