HMS Vervain was a {{sclass2-|Flower|corvette}} of the Royal Navy. She served during the Second World War.

On 28 February 1943 the liberty ship SS Wade Hampton was torpedoed by {{GS|U-405}} while sailing in a convoy from New York to Murmansk, Russia. Survivors were picked up by Vervain, SS Bayano and HMS Beverley near Greenland.^[2]

On 20 February 1945 at 11.45 hours Vervain was escorting a homeward-bound convoy when she was sunk by a torpedo from a U-boat, {{GS|U-1276||2}} under Oberleutnant zur See Karl-Heinz Wendt, about 25 miles south-east of Dungarvan, Ireland, south of Waterford. Vervain sank after 20 minutes. The commander, three officers and 56 ratings were lost. Three officers and 30 ratings were rescued.^[3]

In turn the U-boat, U-1276 was sunk with depth charges by {{HMS|Amethyst|F116|6}}. The action resulted in the loss of all 49 of the U-boat's crew.

HMS Vervain is a Designated vessel under schedule 1 of The Protection of Military Remains Act 1986 (Designation of Vessels and Controlled Sites) Order 2012.^[4]
