Four ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Heroine:
HMS Heroine (1783) was a 32-gun fifth rate launched in 1783. She was converted into a floating battery in 1803 and was sold in 1806. Because Heroine served in the navy's Egyptian campaign (8 March to 8 September 1801), her officers and crew qualified for the clasp "Egypt" to the Naval General Service Medal, which the Admiralty issued in 1847 to all surviving claimants.
HMS Heroine was a 32-gun fifth rate launched in 1758 as the 36-gun HMS Venus. She was reduced in 32 guns in 1792 and renamed HMS Heroine in 1809. She was used for harbour service from 1817 and was sold in 1828.
HMS Heroine (1841) was an 8-gun packet brig launched in 1841. She was used for harbour service from 1865 and broken up in 1878.
HMS Heroine (1881) was a Satellite-class composite screw corvette launched in 1881 and sold in 1902.
