HMS Hibernia was a 110-gun first rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy. She was launched at Plymouth dockyard on 17 November 1804, and was the only ship built to her draught, designed by Sir John Henslow.

In 1805, the Hibernia was the flagship of the Channel Fleet under Admiral Lord Gardner and under the command of Captain Bedford. Prior to the Battle of Dover, the formation was stationed off Ushant, blockading the port at Brest, France.
