HMS Vidette (D48) was a V-class destroyer of the United Kingdom's Royal Navy built around 1920.

She spent most of the 1920s and 1930s in reserve, but was brought back to active service for World War II.

She was converted to an escort destroyer during 1942 and served with Peter Gretton's 'B7' group in the crucial battles around convoys HX 231, ONS 5 and SC 130 in the Second Battle of the Atlantic.
