HMS Prince was a 98-gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched in 1788 and which fought at the Battle of Trafalgar.

She was built at Woolwich in 1788. She saw relatively little action during her career and seems to have been a relatively poor sailor - she sailed, according to one observing captain, "like a haystack.

She was not immediately commissioned on the outbreak of war with Revolutionary France, lying in ordinary at Portsmouth in April 1794. Her hull was lengthened in 1796.
