HMS Aberfoyle was a tender of the Royal Navy. The vessel was built in 1912 in Dartmouth as The Aberfoyle[a] for passenger service across Lough Swilly, Ireland by the Lough Swilly Steamboat Company. She was sold to the Admiralty for use as a tender in 1920, and was later deployed at HMS Dolphin, the submarine base at Gosport, taking that name. She was disposed of in 1947.
