HMS E40 was a British E class submarine of the Royal Navy, launched at Jarrow by Palmer in 1916 and completed by Armstrong Whitworth at Newcastle upon Tyne. She was launched on 9 November 1916 and commissioned in May 1917. During patrols in Scandinavian waters she met a U boat; as she dived her captain was hit by shrapnel and the hatch stuck, so she took on water and went to the bottom. With the air growing bad and the captain unconscious, the first lieutenant used the remaining oxygen to raise the boat and she returned to Middlesbrough, where she had been posted missing. She was sold on 14 December 1921. Her crew was three officers and 28 men.
