A number of ships of the Royal Danish Navy have carried the name Elefanten, or Elephanten. The modern translation of the English word "Elephant" in Danish-English dictionaries is "Elefant". The suffix -en is the definite article in Danish.
All the following except Elephanten (1703) are listed at The Royal Danish Naval Museum's Skibregister: most but not all have record cards on line at this register. The four ships launched betweeen 1684 and 1773 are spelt Elephanten in the Royal Danish Naval Museum's List of Ships.
- Elephanten (1559)
- Elefanten (1618)
- Elephanten (1658)
- Den Hvide Elefant (1661) (The White Elephant)
- Elefanten (1678) ex Enhjørning (1676) – 6th rate; captured from the Swedish after the Battle of Öland; later Aurora (1689) and Frøken Elschen (1689)[1]
- Elephanten (1684), ship of the line; later Gamle Elephant (1703)[2][3]
- Elephanten (1687), frigate[2]
- Elephanten af Danmark (1692), defenceship
