:"For other ships of the same name, see HMS "Apollo"."

HMS "Apollo", the sixth ship of the Royal Navy to be named for the Greek god Apollo, was a second-class "Apollo" class protected cruiser launched in 1891 and broken up in 1920.

After a spell in the reserve, she was present at the Fleet Review for the Diamond Jubilee in 1897, and was transferred back to the reserve in 1900. In 1909 she was converted into a minelayer, and served in this role throughout the First World War.
