His Majesty's Canadian Ship LONGUEUIL, K672 was a Canadian River Class frigate commissioned 18 May 1944 at Montréal.

She was built by Canadian Vickers and paid off 31 December 1945. Her commanding officer was Lieutenant Commander M.J. Woods, RCNVR, the ship's only Commander. She operated on the east coast going to Derry with convoy HXF.302 after working in Bermuda. In June 1945 the ship was sent to British Columbia for tropicalization refit, but that was cancelled and the ship was paid off. In 1947 she was scuttled as a breakwater at Kelsey Bay, BC.
