HMS Scorpion was a Weapon-class destroyer of the British Royal Navy in service from 1947 and scrapped in 1971.

Originally named Centaur, the ship was renamed Tomahawk and finally Scorpion (in September 1943) before her launch.

In 1953 she took part in the Fleet Review to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

In 1957 all of the Weapon-class Destroyers started conversions to radar pickets, which involved the removal of their torpedo tubes.

She was the last Weapon-class vessel to re-commission in 1959 and was part of the 7th Destroyer Squadron until being placed in reserve in April 1963.
