HMS Shoreham was a Sandown-class minehunter of the British Royal Navy. She was the fifth vessel to bear the name. From 2018 to 2021, Shoreham was deployed at UKNSF Bahrain together with three other mine countermeasures ships as part of 9 Mine Countermeasures Squadron on Operation Kipion.
In 2022 she was decommissioned from the Royal Navy and transferred to Ukraine, where she in 2023 was commissioned into the Ukrainian Navy as Черкаси (transliterated Cherkasy), with pennant number M311.
