HMVS Victoria was a gunboat that served with the Victorian Naval Forces and Western Australia before being sold into private use.

This class was built to a type D flat-iron gunboat design from builders Armstrong Mitchell and Co.

In late February 1884, Victoria was in Malta on her delivery voyage to Australia with the gunboat Albert and the torpedo boat Childers when news of General Charles Gordon's death at Khartoum reached the British Empire.

By the time the two larger gunboats reached their destination on 19 March at Suakin, the conflict had moved too far inland for warships to be of any assistance.

They arrived in Melbourne on 26 June after travelling via Aden, Colombo, the Dutch East Indies and Torres Strait.
