HSwMS Saga was a steam corvette of the Royal Swedish Navy.
Saga was used for training sailors. During the winter season she served as a depot ship for the recruit unit. Saga was used as a cadet vessel from 1878 to 1887, and from 1894 to 1909, later being used as a barracks ship. She was decommissioned in 1926. Her propeller is displayed outside the Naval Museum in Karlskrona.
