HMS Conway was a Conway-class sixth rate of the Royal Navy, built by Chatham Dockyard and launched on 2 February 1832.

Under her new name of Winchester she became the Aberdeen Royal Naval Reserve ship on 28 August 1861.

Designed by Sir Robert Seppings in 1828, the Conway class were a broader version of HMS Tyne of 1826.

They were intended as sixth rates, which placed them in a category of ships with more than 24 but less than 36 guns, and commanded by an officer of the rank of captain.
