HMS Cossack was a Tribal class destroyer of the Royal Navy launched in 1907 and sold in 1919.

During the First World War she served in the North Sea and the English Channel with the 6th Destroyer Flotilla. The ship fired two torpedoes as part of the scuttling of HMS Glatton. However they failed to sink the vessel: "Since it was only a matter of time before the fire reached the after magazine, Keyes ordered the destroyer Cossack to sink Glatton with a torpedo. However, two torpedoes from the Cossack were not sufficient to defeat Glatton's extensive anti-torpedo protection..."
