HMS Ruby was a 40-gun frigate of the English navy, built by Peter Pett at Deptford. She took part in actions during all three of the Anglo-Dutch Wars of 1652–1654, 1665–1667 and 1672–1674. Ruby later served in the West Indies, and in 1683 was sent to the Leeward Islands to protect English colonies there against pirate attacks. In 1687, the English pirate Joseph Bannister was captured by the crew of Ruby and brought to Port Royal for trial. She was rebuilt in 1687, and was captured by the French in October 1707.
