{{Use dmy dates|date=January 2017}}{{Use British English|date=January 2017}}At least four ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Port Royal, after the British naval base Port Royal in Jamaica: - {{HMS|Port Royal|1757}} was an 18-gun sloop that was purchased locally, i.e., in Jamaica, in 1757. She was paid off and sold in 1763.
- {{HMS|Port Royal|1778}} was an 18-gun sloop, formerly the French armed merchant vessel {{ship||Comte de Maurepas|ship|2}}, which the British captured in 1778. They purchased her, armed her with eighteen 6-pounder guns, and gave her the name Port Royal; she was under the command of Commander Timothy Kelly when the Spanish captured her at Pensacola in 1781.
- {{HMS|Port Royal|1782}} was the 14-gun French privateer ship-sloop Comte d{{'}}Estaing, which {{HMS|Fortune|1780|6}} captured on 29 March 1782. She was commissioned under Lieutenant George Hart but paid off on 31 March 1783 and sold thereafter.{{#tag:ref|A Comte d{{'}}Estaing was apparently launched in 1780 but grounded at Glénans that same year. She was either refloated or there may have been a successor vessel of the same name.[1]|group=Note}}
- {{HMS|Port Royal|1796}} was a 10-gun schooner purchased in 1796. The French captured her on 30 March 1797 and renamed her Perle. {{HMS|Pelican|1795|2}} recaptured her on 18 October.[2] The Royal Navy renamed her HMS Recovery. She was sold in 1801.
