HMS Roxburgh was a 10,850 ton Devonshire-class armoured cruiser of the Royal Navy, and so far, the only ship to bear the name. She was built by London and Glasgow Co., and launched on 19 January 1904. She was assigned to the Channel Fleet early in her career. She served and her sisters served in the First World War, with Roxburgh surviving to be sold in 1921 to Stanlee for breaking up. She was however re-sold on 8 November 1921 and was finally broken up in Germany.
