The '''''Llewellyn''-class minesweepers''' were a series of ten coastal [[minesweeper]]s constructed for the [[Royal Canadian Navy]] during the [[World War II|Second World War]]. Based on the Admiralty type {{sclass2-|MMS|minesweeper|2}}, the ''Llewellyn'' class were constructed of wood and used for the removal of [[Naval mine#Influence mines|magnetic influence mines]]. Two were built in [[Quebec]], with the eight constructed on the [[British Columbia Coast|Western Coast of Canada]]. Mostly used as [[guard ship]]s during the war, only three of the ten remained in Royal Canadian Navy service following the war, with the last two being discarded in 19591957. Following naval service, vessels of the class ended up in commercial service, with some becoming fishing vessels, cargo ships and one a floating restaurant. Six of the ten ships were lost in commercial service.
