HMT Macbeth was a Шаблон:Sclass2 naval trawler that served with the Royal Navy during the Second World War. She was built by the Goole Shipbuilding & Repairing Co. Ltd., Goole, United Kingdom. Macbeth was launched on 3 October 1940 and commissioned on 14 January 1941.

A steel vessel of Шаблон:Convert, she measured Шаблон:Convert in length with a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a mean draught of Шаблон:Convert. Macbeth was propelled by a reciprocating triple expansion steam engine of Шаблон:Convert, giving her a speed of Шаблон:Convert. The crew comprised 4 officers and 36 ratings. Armament consisted of a 12-pounder anti-aircraft (AA) gun, three 20 mm Oerlikon AA guns and 30 depth charges.

Macbeth most notably participated in Operation Dervish in August 1941 as an escort vessel. During the war she was adopted by the Mildenhall Rural District Council, as part of Warship Week.[1] One of the last two Shakespearian-class trawlers remaining in service with the Royal Navy, Macbeth was sold in 1947.
