RFA Bayleaf (A79) was a Leaf-class support tanker of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, and the second ship to bear the name.
Bayleaf was launched by the Furness Shipbuilding Company of Stockton-on-Tees.[1] She was launched as the civilian London Integrity for London & Overseas Freighters in 1954 and completed in 1955.[1] She was a sister ship of RFA Brambleleaf (A81) built by the same shipyard for LOF the previous year.
She was bareboat chartered for the RFA in 1959 and renamed RFA Bayleaf.[1] She was returned to her owners in 1973, with whom she traded as the London Integrity again until the end of 1976.[1]
On 7 January 1977 she was sold for scrap and on 25 January 1977 she arrived in Burriana in Spain to be broken up.[1]
