HMS Impregnable was a 98-gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 15 April 1786 at Deptford Dockyard.[1]

In 1794, Impregnable served as Rear Admiral Caldwell's flagship at the Glorious First of June.

She was lost off Chichester 8 October 1799.[1], having run aground on her way back to Portsmouth after escorting a convoy to Lisbon. She could not be refloated and so was stripped and dismantled.
