HMS Cheerful was a 30-knot, three-funnel torpedo boat destroyer built by Hawthorn Leslie. She was ordered by the Royal Navy under the 1896–1897 Naval Estimates, launched in 1898, and saw action during World War I. She was mined off the Shetland Islands in 1917 and sank with the loss of 44 officers and men.
