The 10th Submarine Flotilla was a Royal Navy submarine formation during World War I and during World War II

In January 1915 it was based on the Humber but by January 1917 it had relocated to the Tees.[1]

During the Second World War it was formed at Malta in January 1941[2] and comprised Royal Navy and Polish Naval Force submarines assigned to the British Mediterranean Fleet based in Malta from early 1941.[3]
