Three ships of the Royal Australian Navy have borne the name HMAS Melbourne in honor of that Australian city.

The first HMAS Melbourne[?], a Town-class light cruiser[?], saw action in World War I.

The second HMAS Melbourne[?], the lead ship of her class[?] of post-World War II light fleet aircraft carriers[?], was sold for scrap to China where she was studied to help design a Chinese aircraft career as she was broken up.

The third HMAS Melbourne (FFG05)[?] is an Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided missile frigate.
