Three ships of the [Royal Navy](/source/Royal_Navy) have borne the name **HMS *Chanticleer***, possibly after the character Chanticleer in [Geoffrey Chaucer](/source/Geoffrey_Chaucer)'s [The Nun's Priest's Tale](/source/The_Nun's_Priest's_Tale):

- [HMS *Chanticleer* (1808)](/source/HMS_Chanticleer_(1808)) was a 10-gun [*Cherokee*-class brig-sloop](/source/Cherokee-class_brig-sloop) brig-sloop launched in 1808. She was used as a survey ship from 1828, and was scheduled to make the [second South America survey](/source/HMS_Beagle#Second_voyage) of 1831, but because she was in such poor condition [HMS *Beagle*](/source/HMS_Beagle) was selected instead. *Chanticleer* was used as a [Customs](/source/HM_Customs) Watch vessel from 1845. She was renamed *WV5* in 1863 and was broken up in 1871.
- [HMS *Chanticleer* (1861)](/source/HMS_Chanticleer_(1861)) was a [*Camelion*-class sloop](/source/Camelion-class_sloop) wooden screw sloop launched in 1861 and sold in 1878.
- [HMS *Chanticleer* (U05)](/source/HMS_Chanticleer_(U05)) was a [modified *Black Swan*-class sloop](/source/Black_Swan-class_sloop#Modified_Black_Swan_class) launched in 1942.
