  • HMS Imogen was a 16-gun brig-sloop launched in 1805 and sold in 1817.
  • HMS Imogene was a 28-gun sixth rate, originally named HMS Pearl, but renamed in 1826 and launched in 1831. She was burnt by accident in 1840.
  • HMS Imogene was to have been a wooden screw corvette, ordered in 1861 but cancelled in 1863.
  • HMS Imogene was a Coastguard vessel launched in 1864. She was renamed HMS Argus in 1884 and was sold in 1903.
  • HMS Imogene was an iron screw yacht, formerly the Jamacar. She was purchased in 1882, renamed HMS Impey in 1919 and was sold later that year.
