Two ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Telemachus, after Telemachus, a figure in Greek mythology, the son of Odysseus and Penelope, and a central character in Homer's Odyssey:

  • HMS Telemachus was an R-class destroyer launched in 1917 and sold in 1927.
  • HMS Telemachus was a T-class submarine launched in 1943 and scrapped in 1961.

    • In addition, the Royal Navy employed an hired armed cutter Telemachus between 1795 and 1801.
