HMS Waterloo was a 120-gun, three-deck, first rate, broadened Caledonia-class ship of the line built for the Royal Navy during the 1830s. The ship remained in ordinary until she was commissioned in 1851. She was razeed and converted into a steam-powered, 89-gun, second rate, two decker in 1859–1860. Waterloo was renamed Conqueror in 1862 and participated in the Shimonoseki campaign two years later. The ship was renamed Waterloo in 1876 and became a training ship. She was destroyed in a fire in 1918.
