Nine ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Magpie, after the bird, the magpie:
The first HMS Magpie (1806) was a 4-gun schooner launched in 1806 and captured by the French in 1807.
The second HMS Magpie (1826) was launched at Jamaica in 1826 as the name vessel of her class. She was lost off Cuba two months after her launch.
The third HMS Magpie (1830) was a 4-gun cutter launched in 1830, used for dockyard service after 1845, being renamed YC6. She was in service until at least 1880, and was possibly sold in 1908.
The fourth HMS Magpie (1855) was a Dapper-class screw gunboat launched in 1855 and wrecked in 1864.
The fifth HMS Magpie (1868) was a Plover-class screw gunboat launched in 1868, used as a survey vessel after 1878, and sold in 1885.
The sixth HMS Magpie (1889) was a Redbreast-class screw gunboat launched in 1889. She was used as a boom defence vessel from 1902, reverting to a gunboat in 1915, before being transferred for use as a depot ship later that year. She was sold in 1921.
The seventh HMS Magpie (U82), later F82, was a Modified Black Swan-class sloop launched in 1943 and broken up after 1959.
