HMS L53 was a late model L class submarine built for the Royal Navy during the First World War. She was laid down on 19 June 1917 by Armstrong Whitworth at their Newcastle upon Tyne shipyard and launched on 12 August 1919, but was not completed before the end of the war; she was towed to Chatham Dockyard and completed there on 16 January 1925. The L52 and its successors were modified to carry more 21 inch torpedoes in the bow, with six bow tubes and twelve torpedoes in all. She displaced 960 long tons on the surface and 1,150 long tons submerged, was 235 feet long, and had two 12 cylinder Vickers diesel engines. She was sold for scrap on 23 January 1939.
