Three 19th-century ships of the [[Royal Navy]] have borne the name '''HMS ''Java''''', named after the island of [[Java]] in [[Indonesia]].

* The first {{HMS|Java|1806}} was a 32-gun [[fifth rate]], originally the Dutch ''Maria Reijersbergen'' built at [[Amsterdam]] in 1800, and captured from the Dutch on 18 October 1806. The ship was lost, presumed foundered with the loss of all hands, off [[Rodrigues (island)|Rodrigues]] in the Indian Ocean in March of the following year.
* The second {{HMS|Java|1811}} was a 38-gun fifth rate, originally the French ''Renommée'' built in 1805 to 1809 at [[Nantes]], and captured from the French on 20 May 1811 off [[Madagascar]]. On 29 December 1812 the ship was captured in turn by the American vessel {{USS|Constitution}} off Brazil, and burnt the following day.
* The third {{HMS|Java|1815}} was a 52-gun [[fourth rate]] built at Plymouth Dockyard in 1815. Unlike its namesakes, this vessel had a long Royal Navy career, being broken up in November 1862 at Portsmouth.
