Nineteen ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Lion or HMS Lyon, after the lion, an animal traditionally associated with courage, and also used in several heraldric motifs representing England, Scotland and the British Monarchy. Another ship was planned but never completed:

  • English ship <i>Lion</i> <span class="nowrap">(1509)</span> was a 36-gun ship of the Royal Scottish Navy captured in 1511 and sold in 1513.
  • English ship <i>Lion</i> <span class="nowrap">(1536)</span> was a 50-gun ship built in 1536 and on the navy list until 1559.

  • English ship Lion (1557) was a 40-gun ship, also known as Golden Lion. She was rebuilt four times, in 1582, 1609, 1640 and 1658. After her 1609 rebuild she was renamed Red Lion, but this was reverted to Lion after the 1640 rebuild. She was sold in 1698.
  • HMS <i>Lion</i> <span class="nowrap">(1665)</span> was a 6-gun ketch, also known as Young Lion. She was captured from the Dutch in 1665, sold in 1667, repurchased in 1668 and sunk as a foundation at Sheerness in 1673.
