HMS Shoreham was a 32-gun fifth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy built under contract at Shoreham in 1693/94. During the Nine Years' War, she was involved in the unsuccessful operation at Camaret Bay. At the end of the war she helped take half a French convoy off Ireland. She then deployed to North America and the West Indies. She was rebuilt as a 20-gun sixth rate to the 1719 Establishment in 1719/21. She served in the Baltic as a bomb vessel then reverted to a sixth rate. She participated in operations in the West Indies during the initial years of the War of Austrian Succession before being sold in 1744. She was the first vessel to bear the name Shoreham in the Royal Navy.
