HMS Frederick William was an 86-gun screw-propelled second-rate ship of the line built for the Royal Navy during the 1850s. She was originally ordered in 1833 as a 110-gun, first-rate ship of the line under the name of Royal Sovereign, but was renamed Royal Frederick in 1839. Construction did not begin until 1841 and proceeded very, very slowly and was often suspended entirely. Still under construction, the ship was ordered to be razeed and converted into a steam-powered, two-deck ship of the line in 1857. Royal Frederick was renamed Frederick William in 1860 and completed that same year.
