Three ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Umpire, probably after the official in the sport of Cricket:

  • HMS Umpire was a 100-gun first rate ship of the line renamed HMS Royal George in 1782, before her launch, after the previous HMS Royal George foundered.
  • HMS Umpire was a modified R-class destroyer launched on 9 June 1917 and sold for breaking up on 7 January 1930.
  • HMS Umpire was a U-class submarine launched on 30 December 1940 and sunk in an accident nine days after commissioning.
