Three ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Medway Prize, the name being given to ships that had been captured and taken as prizes by one of the Royal Navy ships named HMS Medway. In this instance all of the ships were captured by the same HMS Medway:

  • HMS Medway Prize was a 48-gun fourth rate captured from the French in 1697. She was hulked in 1699 and was sunk as a foundation in 1712.
