HMS Boyne was a Hawthorn Leslie type River-class destroyer ordered by the Royal Navy under the 1903 – 1904 Naval Estimates. Named after the River Boyne in Ireland, the site of the Battle of the Boyne. She was the fifth ship to carry this name since it was introduced in 1692 for a two deck ship-of-the-line.
