Several vessels of the British Royal Navy have been named HMS Redridge:

• HMS Redbridge (1798) was one of four schooner-rigged gunboats built to an experimental design by Sir Samuel Bentham. Her launch date is unknown, but the Admiralty purchased her in April 1798.

• cutter Oiseau, which had been commissioned at Rochefort in August 1803. HMS Argo captured her in September 1803. The Royal Navy
  took her into service as HMS Redbridge. She foundered at Jamaica in February 1805.
