Two ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Flamingo, after the bird.

She was laid down by Yarrow Shipbuilders at Scotstoun in Glasgow on 26 May 1938, launched on 18 April 1939, completed on 3 November 1939 and commissioned 3 December 1939. Flamingo was sold to West Germany on January 1959, and renamed Graf Spee.
