HMS Bombay was an 84-gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 17 February 1828 at Bombay Dockyard.

She was fitted with screw propulsion in 1861. Her efficient ventilation system spread a fire of unknown origin during target practice near Flores Island in the River Plate on 14 December 1864, destroying her and costing the lives of 86 of her crew of 616.
