- Clyde (1820 ship) was built at Greenock, Scotland. She made two voyages for the British East India Company and three voyages transporting convicts from England and Ireland to Australia. She is last listed in 1845.
- Clyde (1871 ship) was built at Scotstoun, Scotland. Was wrecked in 1879 while serving as a troopship for the Anglo-Zulu War
- Clyde (1894 ship) was the last ship built for the Nourse Line and was primarily used for the transportation of Indian indentured labourers to the colonies. She was eventually sold to Norwegian owners and broken up in 1924.
