HMCS St. Laurent (DDH 205) was a St. Laurent-class destroyer that served in the Royal Canadian Navy and later the Canadian Forcesfrom 1955-1974.

She was the lead ship of her class, having been commissioned into the RCN on 29 October 1955 and initially carried the pennant number DDE 205 as a destroyer escort. She underwent conversion to a destroyer helicopter escort (DDH) in the early 1960s and was officially reclassed with pennant DDH 205 on 4 October 1963.

St. Laurent experienced keel damage later in her career and was paid off early as the Canadian Forces opted to not include her in the Destroyer Life Extension (DELEX) program of the 1970s. She was decommissioned from the CF on 14 June 1974 and sold in 1979 for scrapping in Texas.

En route to breakers in Brownsville, Texas, she took on water and foundered off Cape Hatteras on 12 January 1980.
