HMS Elephant was a 10-gun storeship of the Royal Navy which saw active service during the American Revolutionary War. Formerly a merchant vessel named Union, she was purchased by Admiralty in 1776 and sent to North America to resupply larger naval vessels in action against American rebels. She was captured by a 20-gun American privateer on 8 May 1779, following a brisk action which killed her captain and five of her crew. Retaken by the British two days later, she was sailed to Scotland where she was sold out of Navy service in December 1779.
