HMCS Camrose was a Royal Canadian Navy Flower-class corvette which took part in convoy escort duties during the Second World War. She was named for Camrose, Alberta. The ship was built by Marine Industries at their shipyard with the vessel's keel being laid down on 17 September 1940, launched on 16 November 1940 and commissioned on 30 June 1941. The corvette primarily fought in the Battle of the Atlantic as a convoy escort, but also took in convoy operations in the Mediterranean Sea, North Sea, English Channel and coastal Canadian waters and supported the Allied invasions of Normandy and North Africa. In January 1944, Camrose and a British frigate joined forces to sink a German U-boat. Following the war, Camrose was paid off on 22 July 1945 and sold for scrap in 1946 at Hamilton, Ontario.
