HMS Bedford was a Monmouth-class armoured cruiser of 9,800 tons displacement, of the Royal Navy. Built by Fairfield Shipbuilding & Engineering Co Ltd, Govan, she was launched on 31 August 1901, when she was christened by Charlotte Mary Emily, the Hon. Mrs. Burns, wife of the Hon. James Cleland Burns, of the Cunard Line shipping family. She only spent nine years in service before she was wrecked on 21 August 1910 off Quelpart Island in the East China Sea. The wreck was subsequently sold for breaking up in October 1910.
