HMAS Stalwart (H14) was an Admiralty S class destroyer of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Stalwart was laid down by Swan Hunter & Wigham Richardson Limited of Wallsend-on-Tyne in April 1918, launched on 23 October 1918, and completed in 1919. Despite being built on the orders of the Admiralty for British service, Stalwart was never commissioned in the Royal Navy (RN), instead being transferred to the RAN and commissioned at HMNB Devonport on 27 January 1920. Stalwart was at one stage to be renamed Darwin, but this never eventuated.
