Three ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Alban. Another was planned but never completed:
- HMS Alban (1806) was a 10-gun schooner launched in 1806. She was in Danish hands between 1810 and 1811 and was wrecked on 18 December 1812 at Aldeburgh, Suffolk during a storm; only one seaman and a woman survived.[1]
- HMS Alban (1813) was a 14-gun schooner, previously the American 4-gun letter of marque William Bayard. She was captured in 1813 by HMS Warspite and Pheasant,[2] and was broken up in 1822.
- HMS Alban (1826) was a wooden paddle vessel launched in 1826, later rebuilt, and finally broken up in 1860.
- HMS Alban was to have been a Philomel-class gunvessel. She was laid down in 1860 but cancelled in 1863.
