HSwMS Thule was a Svea-class coastal defence ship of the Royal Swedish Navy.

Thule was launched on 4 March 1893 at Bergsunds Yard in Stockholm. She displaced 3,150 tons, had a LPP of 79.5 metres (261 ft) and a beam of 14.6 metres (48 ft). Thule was propelled by a two-cylinder steam engine which gave her a speed of 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph). She was struck from service in 1928, and broken up in 1933.
