HMS Juno was an Eclipse-class protected cruiser built for the Royal Navy in the mid-1890s.
Juno was assigned to the 11th Cruiser Squadron operating from Ireland.
In 1901, she was one of two escort ships for HMS Ophir, which carried the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York (later King George V and Queen Mary) during their tour of the British Empire.
The following year she served in the cruiser squadron under the command of Captain Henry Peter Routh. In May 1902 she was taken into Portsmouth for a refit,[1] and the following month Captain David Beatty was appointed in command.[2] She took part in the fleet review held at Spithead on 16 August 1902 for the coronation of King Edward VII,[3] and visited the Aegean Sea for combined manoeuvres with other ships of the Channel squadron and Mediterranean Fleet the following month.[4] After returning to Portsmouth in October,[5] she was posted to the Mediterranean Fleet later that year.
In 1915 she was sent to the Persian Gulf and took part in an engagement at Bushire in July – August 1915 against Tangistani raids under Rais Ali Delvari.
Juno was sold for scrap in 1920.
