HMS Plymouth was a 52-gun third-rate frigate, built for the navy of the Commonwealth of England and launched at Wapping in 1653. By 1677 her armament had been increased to 60 guns.

Plymouth was rebuilt at Blackwall Yard in 1705 as a 60-gun fourth-rate ship of the line. She sunk later that year and was lost.
