HMS Fermoy was a Hunt-class minesweeper of the Aberdare sub-class built for the Royal Navy during World War I. Although she was under construction during the First World War, she was not completed in time to participate in combat operations. In 1941, she was severely damaged by German bombers and was subsequently scrapped.
