Seznam britských eskortních letadlových lodí
Seznam britských eskortních letadlových lodí zahrnuje eskortní letadlové lodě, které provozovalo Britské královské námořnictvo v době druhé světové války. Jednalo se o malá a pomalá plavidla, která měla zmírnit nedostatek klasických letadlových lodí, zejména při doprovodu konvojů vážně ohrožovaných německými ponorkami v oblastech mimo dosah letadel z pozemních základen. Britské námořnictvo jich získalo celkem 45 kusů. První vznikly přestavbou civilních plavidel. Převážná většina britských eskortních letadlových lodí byla dodána z USA na základě zákona o půjčce a pronájmu. Během války byly tři ztraceny.
