Two ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Fleetwood; the latter named after the town of Fleetwood. A third ship was planned as Fleetwood, but was renamed before being launched:

  • HMS Fleetwood was a Royalist ship captured by the Parliamentarians in 1655 and renamed Wexford.
  • HMS Fleetwood was to have been a Hunt class minesweeper. She was renamed HMS Ford in 1918 and was launched later that year.
  • HMS Fleetwood was a Grimsby class sloop launched in 1936 and broken up after 1959.
