HMS Albemarle was a 90-gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched and commissioned on 29 October 1680 at Harwich.
During the Nine Years' War, HMS Albemarle took part in the Battle of Beachy Head in 1690 and the Battle of Barfleur in 1692.
She was rebuilt in 1704 at Chatham Dockyard, remaining a 90-gun second rater. She was also renamed HMS Union at this time. She underwent a second rebuild at Chatham, from where she was relaunched on 8 February 1726 as a 90-gun second rater built to the 1719 Establishment.
Union was broken up in 1749.
