The [[Eastern Fleet]] was a World War II formation of the British [[Royal Navy]]. It was formed from the ships and installations of the [[East Indies Station]] and the [[China Station]] (which are included in this list), with headquarters at [[Singapore]], moving between [[Trincomalee]] and [[Kilindini]] after the Japanese advances in south east Asia made Singapore untenable as a naval base. See [[Eastern Fleet|main article]] for details.

The following lists the warships and support ships of the Fleet, with dates served, fate and nationality.
