Three ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Donegal, after the failed French attempt to land in County Donegal in 1798[1]:
- HMS Donegal was a 76-gun third rate, previously the French ship Hoche. She was captured in 1798 and commissioned into the Navy as HMS Donegal. She was broken up in 1845.[2]
- HMS Donegal was a 101-gun first rate Conqueror-class ship of the line launched in 1858. She became part of the torpedo and mining school ship HMS Vernon in 1886 and was sold in 1925.[3]
