HMS Royal William was a 120-gun, three-deck, first rate, broadened Caledonia-class ship of the line built for the Royal Navy during the 1830s. Completed in 1834, the ship remained in ordinary until she was razeed and converted into a steam-powered, 89-gun, second rate, two decker during the 1850s. She played a minor role in the Crimean War of 1854–1855 and became a training ship in 1884.
