Three ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Atherstone after the town of Atherstone in Warwickshire, or after its hunt:

The first Atherstone, launched in 1916, was an Ascot-class minesweeper that served in World War I.
The second Atherstone (L05), launched in 1939, was a Hunt-class destroyer that served in World War II.
The third and current Atherstone (M38), launched in 1985, is a Hunt-class minesweeper.
