- HMS Delhi was a Danae class light cruiser launched in 1918. She served in the Second World War and was scrapped in 1948.
- HMIS Delhi was formerly the Leander class cruiser HMNZS Achilles, transferred to the Indian Navy in 1948, and recommissioned as INS Delhi when India became a republic. She was broken up in 1978.
