{{Use dmy dates|date=March 2017}}{{Use British English|date=March 2017}}Three ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Tartarus, after Tartarus, from Greek mythology. A fourth was laid down, but never completed: - {{HMS|Tartarus|1797}} was an 8-gun bomb vessel, formerly the civilian Charles Jackson. She was purchased in 1797 and wrecked in 1804. Because Tartarus served in the navy's Egyptian campaign (8 March to 2 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.[1]
- {{HMS|Tartarus|1806}} was a 16-gun fireship launched in 1806. She was reclassified as a sloop from 1808 and was sold in 1816.
- {{HMS|Tartarus|1834}} was a {{sclass-|Tartarus|gunvessel|0}} paddle gunvessel launched in 1834 and broken up in 1860.
- HMS Tartarus was to have been a {{sclass-|Cormorant|gunvessel|0}} wooden screw gunvessel, laid down in 1860 and cancelled in 1864.
