HMS Triumph was a Swiftsure-class predreadnought battleship of the Royal Navy. HMS Triumph was ordered by Chile as Libertad, laid down by Armstrong Whitworth at Elswick on 26 February 1902, and launched on 12 January 1903. Chile put her up for sale in early 1903; to prevent a possible purchase by Russia, the United Kingdom purchased her on 3 December 1903 and renamed her HMS Triumph on 7 December 1903. She was completed in June 1904.
