HMS Zest was a Z-class destroyer of the Royal Navy that saw service during World War II.

She carried out patrols in the Singapore and Malacca Straits to prevent infiltration of Indonesian-led forces and smuggling of weapons during the Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation.

In November 1964, the merchant ship Pompadour ran aground on the Bombay Shoal in the South China Sea, as did the tug Salvonia when she tried to assist.

Zest returned to British waters at the end of 1965, paying off at Plymouth of 15 December that year before recommissioning with a new crew.
