H.M.S. Blanche was a scout cruiser in the Royal Navy completed in 1910. Modern sources often treat her as a member of a two-vessel Blonde class, but we treat her as contemporary documents do, as one of seven ships of the Boadicea class.

Blanche recommissioned at Chatham on 23 January, 1913, joining the Fourth Destroyer Flotilla as flagship. On 1 July, she was to transfer to the Third Battle Squadron.[9]
She was attached to the Grand Fleet at the Battle of Jutland, under the command of Captain Casement.[10]
