Four ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Argonaut after the Argonauts of Greek mythology:
- The first Argonaut was a 64-gun third-rate, originally the French ship Jason, captured in 1782 in the West Indies and broken up in 1831.
- The second Argonaut was a Diadem-class armoured cruiser launched in 1898 and broken up in 1921.
- The third Argonaut (61) was a Dido-class light cruiser launched in 1941 and sold in 1955.
- The fourth Argonaut (F56) was a Leander-class frigate launched in 1966 and broken up in 1995.
