HMS E29 was a British E-class submarine built by Armstrong Whitworth at Newcastle upon Tyne, launched on 1 June 1915 and commissioned in October of that year. The later E-class boats were about 180 feet long, with two Vickers eight-cylinder diesel engines for surface running, two electric motors for submerged running, five 18 inch torpedo tubes and a crew of three officers and 28 men. On 9 January 1916 an explosion in her battery compartment killed four men. She was sold on 21 February 1922, so her career fell almost entirely within the First World War and its immediate aftermath.
