Repulse,[Note 1] sometimes written as Due Repulse, was a 40/48-gun ship of the English Tudor navy, launched in 1596.

Repulse was rebuilt in 1610 as a great ship of 34 principal guns, plus 6 smaller anti-personnel guns.[1]

In 1613 The Repulse was appointed to escort Princess Elizabeth, daughter of James VI and I, and Frederick V of the Palatinate sailing in The Prince Royal from Margate to Ostend.[2]

She was broken up in 1649.[1]
