HMS Breda was a 70-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Woolwich Dockyard on 23 April 1692.

His squadron left for the West Indies on 2 September 1701 as the War of the Spanish Succession began.

[2] During the action of August 1702, Breda, under Benbow's command, was one of only two ships in the squadron to effectively engage the French.

After several days, the contumacy of Benbow's captains in refusing to fight, and his own injuries, forced him to return to Port Royal, where several were convicted of cowardice at a court-martial.

[2] In 1718, Breda was commanded by Captain Barrows Harris, and took part in the Battle of Cape Passaro.
