HMS Bristol was a 50-gun fourth-rate ship of the line built for the Royal Navy in the first decade of the 18th century.

The ship was built by Master Shipwright John Lock at Plymouth Dockyard[1] according to the 1706 Establishment, and launched on 8 May 1711.

The ship commissioned in August under the command of Captain William Chambers for service in home waters.

Three years later, now under the command of Captain Benjamin Young, she accompanied a convoy bound for the West Indies in early 1741.

Bristol was relaunched on 9 July 1746[5] and took part in the unsuccessful attack on Martinique in January 1759.
