Two ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Leith, after the historic Scottish port of Leith:

  • HMS Leith was a 20-gun armed ship in service in 1782.
  • HMS Leith was a Grimsby class sloop launched in 1933 and sold in 1946 into civilian service. She was renamed Byron and Friendship before being acquired by the Royal Danish Navy in 1949 and renamed HMDS Galathea. They scrapped her in 1955.
