Five ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Bideford, or the archaic variant HMS Biddeford, after the port town of Bideford, Devon. A sixth was planned but never built:
HMS Biddeford was a 24-gun sixth-rate launched in 1695 and wrecked in 1699.
HMS Biddeford was a 20-gun sixth-rate launched in 1711. She was rebuilt in 1727, and foundered in 1736.
HMS Bideford was a 24-gun sixth-rate launched in 1740 and broken up by 1754.
HMS Bideford was a 20-gun sixth-rate launched in 1756 and wrecked in 1761.
HMS Bideford was to have been a Hunt-class minesweeper, but was cancelled in 1918.
HMS Bideford was a Shoreham-class sloop launched in 1931 and sold for scrapping in 1949.
