HMS Lizard was a Bramble-class screw gunboat of the Royal Navy, built by Harland & Wolff, Belfast and launched on 27 November 1886. She commenced service on the Australia Station in January 1888, when she returned to the Australia station. She was the first warship to enter Kiama, New South Wales. Her crew was paid off in September 1902 and ordered back home on a steamship. She was laid up at Sydney in 1904.
Fate
She was sold in February 1905 for £800 and was broken up at Balmain, Sydney.
