Eight ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Iris after the Greek mythological figure Iris or after the flower by that name. A ninth was planned but renamed before entering service: HMS Iris was a 28-gun sixth rate, formerly the American USS Hancock. The British captured Hancock in 1777 and renamed her Iris, but lost her to the French in 1781, who sold her in 1784.
HMS Iris (1783) was a 32-gun fifth rate launched in 1783. The Navy lent her to Trinity House in 1803, but reclaimed and refitte
