HMS Pembroke was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 27 June 1812 at Blackwall Yard.

Pembroke was in company with Alcmene and Aigle on 11 April 1814 when they captured Fortune, Notre Dame de Leusainte, and a settee of unknown name.

She was fitted with screw propulsion in 1855, transferred to the Coastguard in 1858, and used as a base ship from 1887.

She was renamed HMS Forte as a receiving hulk in 1890, and was eventually sold out of the Navy in 1905.
