HMS Royal Charles was a 100-gun first rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by Sir Anthony Deane at Portsmouth Dockyard, and launched in 1673.

She was rebuilt at Woolwich Dockyard in 1693, and renamed HMS Queen. She was rebuilt for a second time at Woolwich, relaunching on 20 September 1715, and renamed once more, this time to HMS Royal George.

Royal George was renamed HMS Royal Anne in 1756, and was broken up in 1767.
