HMS Medway was a 60-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Sheerness Dockyard on 20 September 1693.[1]

Medway, together with Chatham and Triton, captured the French Auguste on 19 August 1705.[3]

She was rebuilt according to the 1706 Establishment at Deptford Dockyard, and relaunched on 1 August 1718. Medway was hulked in 1740.[2]

She was eventually broken up in 1749.[2]
