HMS Clarence was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 11 April 1812 at Turnchapel.

Clarence was among a number of vessels that shared in the proceeds of the recapture of Wolf's Cove on 1 December 1813.

In 1826 Clarence was re-rated as a fourth rate, and was broken up in 1828.
