HMS Portland was a 50-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Woolwich Dockyard on 28 March 1693.

She was rebuilt according to the 1719 Establishment at Portsmouth, and was relaunched on 25 February 1723.

On 17 March 1709, Portland recaptured Coventry, which the 54-gun Auguste and the 54-gun Jason (1704) had captured in September 1704.

Portland was broken up in 1743.
