  • HMS Dunkirk was a 2-gun ketch captured from the French in 1656 and sold in 1660.
  • HMS Dunkirk was a 48-gun fourth-rate. She was launched in 1651 under the name Worcester, but she was renamed Dunkirk on the Restoration in 1660. She was rebuilt in 1704 and 1734, and was broken up in 1749.
  • HMS Dunkirk was a 60-gun fourth-rate launched in 1754. She was on harbour service from 1778 and was sold in 1782.
  • HMS Dunkirk was a Battle class destroyer launched in 1945 and broken up in 1965.
