Numerous British vessels have born the name Prince of Wales, after the then current Prince of Wales, the title borne by the heir-presumptive to the throne of the United Kingdom.

Prince of Wales was a transport carrying troops to Savannah, Georgia that the South Carolina Navy's vessels Hornet and Eagle captured on 1 April 1779.
