Merhonour was a ship of the Tudor navy of England. She was built in 1590 by Mathew Baker at Woolwich Dockyard, and was rebuilt by Phineas Pett I at Woolwich between 1612 and 1615, being relaunched on 6 March 1615 as a 40-gun royal ship. She was then laid up at Chatham, only briefly returning to service in the 1630s. She was nevertheless considered to be one of the fastest ships in the Navy.
Merhonour was sold out of the navy in 1650.
