HMS Sandringham was one of 93 ships of the Ham-class of inshore minesweepers.

Their names were all chosen from villages ending in -ham. The minesweeper was named after Sandringham in Norfolk.

She was laid up in reserve at Rosneath and converted to serve as a ferry (1972–83) for RNAD Coulport workers. She was sold to Pounds in 1986 and became the Greek ferry Sotirakis II.
