HMS Bideford was a 20-gun sixth-rate frigate of the Royal navy that saw service during the early part of the Seven Years' War between Britain and France. Built to a design copied from Le Tygre, a French vessel captured in 1747, she was launched in 1757 as a privateer-hunter in the English Channel and Bay of Biscay. Active for four years, she secured seven victories at sea over French vessels. She was wrecked on Haisborough Sands off North Norfolk on 31 December 1761.
