HMS Suffolk' was a 70-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by contract of 20 February 1678 by Henry Johnson at Blackwall Yard and launched in May 1680.

She was rebuilt at Blackwall in 1699, and for a second time at Chatham Dockyard, from where she was relaunched on 13 November 1718 as a 70-gun third rate to the 1706 Establishment. On 3 December 1735 she was ordered to be taken to pieces for her final rebuild, which was carried out at Woolwich. She was reconstructed as a 70-gun third rate according to the 1733 proposals of the 1719 Establishment, and relaunched on 5 March 1739. Suffolk was commanded by Christopher Billopp in the Battle of Barfleur. The Suffolk was part of Vice-Admiral Edward Vernon's fleet and took part in the expedition to Cartagena de Indias during the War of Jenkin's Ear.
