HMS Clarence was a 74-gun third rate Vengeur-class ship of the line built for the Royal Navy in the first decade of the 19th century. Completed in 1812, she played a minor role in the Napoleonic Wars.
Clarence was among a number of vessels that shared in the proceeds of the recapture of Wolfe's Cove on 1 December 1813.
In 1826 Clarence was re-rated as a fourth rate. She was broken up in 1828.
