The Bacchante class was a group of three iron screw corvettes in service with the Royal Navy from the late 1870s.

These were the last ships to be built of iron for the Royal Navy, with teak planking.

Although similar, the three ships differed in design and appearance, and thus did not technically form a single class.

A fourth ship (Highflyer) was ordered in 1878 from Portsmouth Dockyard, but was cancelled in 1879.
