HMS Warrior was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 18 October 1781 at Portsmouth.
In 1801, she was part of Admiral Sir Hyde Parker's reserve squadron at the Battle of Copenhagen, and so did not participate in the battle. In 1805, she was part of Admiral Robert Calder's fleet at the Battle of Cape Finisterre.
Warrior became a receiving ship in 1818, and was eventually broken up in 1857.
