HMS Roxburgh was a 10,850 ton Devonshire-class armoured cruiser of the Royal Navy, and so far, the only ship to bear the name. She was built by London and Glasgow Co., and launched on January 19, 1904. Like her sisters, she served in the First World War and survived, to be sold in 1921 to Stanlee for breaking up. She was however re-sold on November 8, 1921 and finally broken up in Germany.
