HMS Vampire was a V-class submarine of the Royal Navy (RN).[2]

The boat was laid down by Vickers-Armstrong at Barrow-in-Furness on 9 November 1942. She was launched on 20 July 1943,[2] and commissioned into the RN on 13 November 1943.

The submarine operated during the late stages of World War II, and earned the battle honour "Aegean 1944".[2] The submarine was decommissioned after the war in September 1945 and was broken up for scrap at Gateshead in March 1950
