HMAS Broome
Two vessels of the Royal Australian Navy have been named HMAS Broome, for the town of Broome, Western Australia.
- HMAS Broome (J191), a Bathurst-class corvette which operated from 1942 until 1946, when she was sold to the Turkish Navy
- HMAS Broome (ACPB 90), an Armidale-class patrol boat that entered service in 2007 and is active as of 2016
