HMS Queen was a 110-gun first rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 15 May 1839 at Portsmouth. She was designed by Sir William Symonds, and was the only ship built to her draught.

In 1842 she was visited by Queen Victoria. In 1854, she participated in the bombardment of Sebastopol, Ukraine during the Crimean War. The famous Timothy the tortoise, who was about 160 years old when she died in 2004, was the ship's mascot during this time. In 1859 the ship was fitted with screw propulsion.

The ship was broken up in 1871.
