HMS Canterbury was a 60-gun fourth-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Deptford on 18 December 1693.
She was rebuilt at Portsmouth according to the 1719 Establishment, and was relaunched on 15 September 1722.
Canterbury along with, during the War of Jenkins' Ear captured the Spanish Caracca St Joseph on 23 September 1739. The St Joseph was probably the most valuable single prize of the war.[1]

Canterbury was placed on harbour service in 1761, and was broken up in 1770.
