HMS Audacious was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 23 July 1785 at Rotherhithe.

She was among the group of ships that dismasted the French three-decker Révolutionnaire before the Glorious First of June.

She also took part in the Battle of the Nile, under Captain Davidge Gould, where she engaged the French ship Conquérant and helped to force her surrender.
