Three ships of the [Royal Navy](/source/Royal_Navy) have borne the name '''HMS ''Nile''''', after the [Battle of the Nile](/source/Battle_of_the_Nile) in 1798:

*{{HMS|Nile|1806}} was a 12-gun [cutter](/source/Cutter_(ship)) purchased in 1806. This may have been the former [hired armed](/source/hired_armed_vessels) cutter {{ship|Hired armed cutter|Nile||2}}. HMS ''Nile'' was put up for sale in October 1810,<ref>{{London Gazette|issue=16410|page=1564|date=2 October 1810}}</ref> and sold, but the purchaser rejected her; she was subsequently broken up in 1811.
*{{HMS|Nile|1839}} was a 92-gun [second-rate](/source/second-rate) [ship of the line](/source/ship_of_the_line) launched in 1839. She was converted to screw propulsion in 1854, renamed HMS ''Conway'' in 1876 whilst on loan as a training ship, and was burnt in 1956.
*{{HMS|Nile|1888}} was a {{sclass|Trafalgar|ironclad}} launched in 1888 and sold in 1912.

In addition, the Royal Navy base at Ras el-Tin Point, [Alexandria](/source/Alexandria), Egypt, which operated between April 1939 and June 1946, was officially referred to as HMS ''Nile''.
