HMS E30 was a British E-class submarine built by Armstrong Whitworth at Newcastle upon Tyne. She was laid down on 29 June 1914 and commissioned in November 1915, and joined the 11th Submarine Flotilla at Blyth. Like the other post-E8 boats she was about 180 feet long, drove two Vickers eight-cylinder two-stroke diesel engines on the surface and two electric motors submerged, and carried five 18-inch torpedo tubes. She patrolled off Denmark and Norway, stopped the steamer Kong Inge in 1916 and sank the German steamer Trave by gunfire. A battery explosion killed four of her crew on 7 April 1916. She was lost in the North Sea on 22 November 1916, thought to have been mined off Orfordness, with no survivors.
