HMS Mildura was a Pearl-class cruiser built for the Royal Navy in the late 1880s by Armstrong Whitworth at Elswick. Laid down in August 1888 and launched on 27 November 1889 as HMS Pelorus, she was renamed after the Australian town of Mildura in April 1890 and, under the Imperial Defence Act of 1887, served mainly in Australian waters. Captain Henry Leah commanded her from April 1897 and Captain Charles Kingsmill from September 1900. She formed part of the naval escort for the 1901 visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York to New Zealand, and in 1902 visited Norfolk Island, Suva and Tonga with HMS Royal Arthur and HMS Pylades. She was sold to Garnham of London for scrap in 1906.
