HMS Mutine was an Algerine-class minesweeper of the Royal Navy. She served during the Second World War, and was adopted by the civil community of Mitcham, Surrey.
Mutine was built by Harland and Wolff, in Belfast, Northern Ireland and launched on 10 October 1942. After completing her working up trials she was assigned to the 12th Minesweeping Flotilla and was deployed in Home waters. She only spent a couple of months here before travelling to the Mediterranean in May 1943 to join the minesweeping flotilla at Bizerta.
