'''Tree-class trawlers''' were a class of [[anti-submarine warfare|anti-submarine vessel]] which served in the [[Royal Navy]] during the [[World War II|Second World War]]. They were nearly identical to the {{sclass2-|Isles|trawler|3|naval}}s, of which they are usually considered a subclass.

Six Tree-class trawlers were lost during the war: ''Almond, Ash, Chestnut, Hickory, Juniper'' and ''Pine''. One, ''Mangrove'', was transferred to Portugal in 1943.
