HMS Hero was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, designed by Sir Thomas Slade and launched on 28 March 1759 from Plymouth Dockyard. She was the only ship built to her draught.
Under the command of Captain Theophilus Jones, she took part in the 1783 Battle of Cuddalore.
She was converted to a prison ship in 1793, and was eventually broken up in 1810.
