HMS Iphigenia was an Apollo-class protected cruiser of the Royal Navy built on the River Clyde and launched in 1891, spending her early years on the China Station. When she became obsolete as a cruiser, she was converted as a minelayer in 1907. Her service ended when she was sunk as a blockship during the Zeebrugge Raid on 23 April 1918.
