HMS Hogue was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 3 October 1811 at Deptford.[1]

During the War of 1812, while under the command of Thomas Bladen Capel, the HMS Hogue successfully trapped the American Privateer Young Teazer of the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada.

She was converted into a screw-propelled steamship in 1850. Hogue was eventually broken up in 1865.[1]
