HMS "Tiger Bay" (originally; "Islas Malvinas GC82") is a former Argentine Z-28 patrol boat that was captured by the British and brought into service with the Royal Navy at the end of the Falklands War.

She had been damaged by gunfire from the Lynx helicopter of HMS Alacrity early in the war on May 1, just off Kidney Island.
