HMS Royal George was a 120-gun first rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 22 September 1827 at Chatham Dockyard.
In 1853 she was fitted with screw propulsion. Boilers and engines were placed in space previously used for water tanks. Further space had to be given over to storing coal, which made the ship rather crowded. In February 1856 Captain Henry Codrington was replaced by Captain Robinson.
She was sold out of the service in 1875.
