HMS Elgin was a Hunt-class minesweeper of the Aberdare sub-class constructed for the Royal Navy during World War I. She was not completed in time to serve in the conflict.

The Aberdare sub-class featured enlarged versions of the original Hunt-class ships and were equipped with more powerful armaments.

HMS Elgin was built by William Simons & Company at their shipyard in Renfrew. Initially named Troon, she was renamed before her launch to avoid potential confusion with ships named after coastal locations.

On May 4, 1944, Elgin was nine miles east of the Isle of Portland when she struck an acoustic mine, which caused severe damage.  

She was subsequently towed to Portsmouth and scrapped in 1945.
