HMS York was a 60-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built at Plymouth Dockyard to the draught specified in the 1745 Establishment, and launched on 10 November 1753.

After extensive service in Europe, North America and the east Indies, York was decommissioned in 1765 and broken up at Plymouth in 1772.

[1] In January 1758 Captain Pigot received orders to sail for North America to add York to the fleet assembling to support British advances against French Canadian strongholds.

This was Pigot's final engagement as York's captain; in early 1759 he was promoted to command of the 84-gun Royal William in the fleet of Sir Charles Saunders.

[2] Pigot was replaced by Captain Vincent Pearce, who took York to the East Indies to support British efforts against the French.
