HMS San Josef was a 114-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy. She was originally the Spanish Navy ship of the line San José, which was launched at Ferrol, Spain in 1783. San José was captured by the British navy at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent on 14 February 1797. The Royal Navy commissioned her as San Josef, and the ship saw service during the rest of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars; in 1809, she served as the flagship of Admiral John Thomas Duckworth. Reclassified as a gunnery training ship in 1837, she was decommissioned and broken up in 1849.
