Ships of the Royal Navy by J. J. Colledge is a historical reference work providing brief entries on all recorded ships in commission in the Royal Navy from the 15th century, giving location of constructions, date of launch, tonnage, specification and fate.

It was published in two volumes by Greenhill Books. Volume 1, first published in 1969, covers major ships; Volume 2, first published in 1970, covers Navy-built trawlers, drifters, tugs and requisitioned ships including Armed Merchant Cruisers.

The book is the standard reference work on ships of the Royal Navy, and Colledge's conventions and spellings of names are used by museums, libraries and archives.

A revised version of the volume 1 work was published in 2003 which added the ships of the late 20th century. The revision was conducted by Ben Warlow.
