HMS Snapper was a Salmon-class destroyer which served with the Royal Navy. She was launched in 1895, and served in home waters.

She served as part of the Medway Instructional Flotilla in 1901. Lieutenant John Foster Grant-Dalton was appointed in command on 14 February 1902. She docked for repairs to her stem in late May 1902, but was back in the North Sea by early June.

She was sold off in 1911.
