Two ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Aigle, after the French for Eagle: - HMS Aigle was a French frigate launched in 1780 that the French navy purchased in 1782 and that the British captured that same year. The British took her into the Royal Navy as a 38-gun fifth rate under her existing name. She wrecked in 1798 on Plane Island (Île Plane) ({{coord|37|10|54|N|10|19|40|E}}) off Cape Farina, Tunisia, due to an error in navigation. All the crew were saved.[1]
- {{HMS|Aigle|1801}} was a 36-gun fifth rate launched in 1801. She was used as a coal hulk from 1853, sunk in shallow water during torpedo experiments, and was sold for breaking up in 1870.
