- HMS New Zealand was a King Edward VII class battleship launched in 1904, renamed HMS Zealandia in 1911 to free the name for the new battlecruiser, and sold in 1921.
- HMS New Zealand was an Indefatigable class battlecruiser paid for by the Dominion of New Zealand and launched in 1911. She served during the First World War and was sold in 1922.
- HMS New Zealand was to have been a Malta class aircraft carrier. She was cancelled in 1946 while under construction.
