The Y-class lifeboat is a class of small inflatable boat operated by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution of the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The Y-class is mainly used as a small tender carried on board the larger RNLI All-Weather lifeboats that serve the shores of the UK, and is normally found on the {{Lbc|Severn}} and {{Lbc|Tamar}} lifeboats, the {{Lbc|Arun}} having been retired. They are also used as part of the RNLIs Flood Rescue Team.

When in use, it carries up to a crew of two and is primarily used in cliff incidents where the casualty is near the shore and the all-weather lifeboat cannot safely get to the base of the cliffs due to rocks.

Launching from the Tamar-class

Within the stern section of the Tamar-class lifeboat is a built-in, recessed chamber which houses the small inflatable Y-class lifeboat. Access to this inflatable tender is achieved by lifting a section of deck and lowering a transom which doubles as a ramp. This allows the tender to be easily launched and recovered.

Other small boats operated by the RNLI include the {{Lbc|Arancia}} beach rescue boats, the {{Lbc|X}} and the {{Lbc|XP}} lifeboats.
