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-of-the-line launched between 1684 and 1773 are spelt Elephanten in the Royal Danish Naval Museum's List of Ships.
- HDMS Elephanten (1559)[1]
- HDMS Elefanten (1618)
- HDMS Elephanten (1658)
- Den Hvide Elefant (1661) (The White Elephant)
- Elefanten (1678) ex Enhjørning (1676) – sixth rate; captured from the Swedish after the Battle of Öland; later Aurora (1689) and Frøken Elschen (1689)[2][3]
- HDMS Elephanten (1684), ship of the line; later Gamle Elephant (1703)[4][5]
- HDMS Elephanten (1687), frigate[4]
- Elephanten af Danmark (1692), defenceship
- Elefantens Barkas (1711)
- HDMS Elephanten (1703), ship of the line, Also known as the New Elephant[6] decommissioned 1728[4]
