HMCS Red Deer was a Bangor-class minesweeper that served in the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War.

After the war the vessel was briefly reacquired by the Royal Canadian Navy, but was not recommissioned and was sold for scrap and broken up in 1959.

The engines produced a total of 2,400 indicated horsepower (1,800 kW) and gave a maximum speed of 16.5 knots (30.6 km/h; 19.0 mph).

[3][6] Red Deer was equipped with LL and SA minesweeping gear to counter magnetic and acoustic naval mines.

Red Deer was commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy on 24 November 1941 at Montreal with the pennant number J255.

In 1952, she was reacquired by the Royal Canadian Navy and refitted in preparation for active duty and given the new pennant number 196.
