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 eastern Ireland following the British victory there in 1689, she was the fifth ship to carry this name since it was introduced in 1692 for an 80/72-gun two deck ship-of-the-line broken at Portsmouth by 1763.
