HMS Furious (pennantnummer 47) var en stor lettere armeret krydser, som under 1. verdenskrig blev bygget til af den britiske Royal Navy. I forhold til de to øvrige skibe i klassen, blev HMS Furious redesignet med to stk. 18 tommer kanoner i stedet for de andres 15 tommer, men allerede inden afleveringen til Royal Navy fjernedes det forreste store kanontårn og et flydæk installeredes i stedet foran.
Den 2. august 1917 lykkedes det for piloten Edwin H. Dunning at foretage en landing med sit Sopwith Pup-fly på flydækket mens skibet sejlede op mod vinden og det var verdens første landing på dækket af et hangarskib. Ved det tredje landingsforsøg den 7. august gik det galt for Dunning og han røg ud over kanten og druknede.
I november 1917 fik skibet fjernet bagerste store kanontårn og i stedet monteret et flydæk mere bagerst beregnet til landing. Der foretoges dog kun 3 landingsforsøg inden dette blev forbudt.
HMS Furious deltog 19. juli 1918 i bombardementet af luftskibsbasen i Tønder medbringende 7 Sopwith Camel-fly.
I 1921-1925 undergik skibet en større ombygning så de 2 flydæk blev sammenhængende og landing var mulig uden større risiko.
