HMS Akbar was a 74-gun third rate Vengeur-class ship of the line built for the Royal Navy in the 1810s. Originally named Hero, the ship was renamed Wellington shortly after she was launched in 1816. Completed later that year, she was immediately placed in ordinary.
She became a training ship in 1862 and was renamed Akbar; she was eventually sold out of the Navy in 1908 and broken up.
