HMCS Baffin was an Isles-class Naval trawler of the Royal Canadian Navy. Originally she was HMS Baffin of the Royal Navy. During World War II she was mostly engaged in minesweeping duties out of Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Decommissioned by the Royal Canadian Navy on 20 August 1945, she was returned to the Royal Navy the same day. In 1947 she was sold for mercantile use under the same name, becoming Niedermehnen in 1952.
