HMAS Bataan (D-9/D-191/I-91) was a Tribal-class destroyer operated by the Royal Australian Navy. She was built in Sydney and was commissioned in May 1945. Although Bataan commissioned too late in the war to see combat, she was present in Tokyo for the official Japanese surrender on 2 September 1945. Between 1950 and 1952 she completed two deployments to Korean waters where she served in support of United Nations Forces during the Korean War. Bataan paid off in October 1954 ahead of a planned conversion to an anti-submarine escort, but this conversion was cancelled in 1957 and she was sold for scrap in 1958.
