HMS Surprise (1973) is a novel by Patrick O'Brian, the third in the Aubrey–Maturin series.

Captain Jack Aubrey is charged with carrying a British ambassador to the East Indies.

Accompanying him (as always) is his friend Stephen Maturin, and much of the novel deals with the ups and downs of Stephen's relationship with Diana Villiers, introduced in the previous novel, Post Captain.
