{{other uses2|Iphigenia}}Four ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Iphigenia, after Iphigenia, a figure in Greek mythology: - {{HMS|Iphigenia|1780}} was a 32-gun fifth rate launched in 1780 and burnt by accident in 1801.{{#tag:ref|Ipigenia was armed en flute and was serving as a transport. She had been to Cyprus to fetch water and timber but shortly after her return to Alexandria she was discovered to be on fire. The amount of wood on her made it impossible to put the fire out. There were no casualties.[1] Because Iphigenia served in the navy's Egyptian campaign (8 March to 8 September 1801), her officers and crew qualified for the clasp "Egypt" to the Naval General Service Medal, which the Admiralty issued in 1847 to all surviving claimants.[2]|group=Note}}
