HMS Nasturtium on ensimmäisen maailmansodan aikainen hylky Maltalla. Nasturtium oli brittiläinen vuonna 1915 rakennettu miinanraivaussluuppi. Alus osui miinaan Grand Harbourin edustalla 27. huhtikuuta 1916 illalla ja upposi 28. päivä aamuyöllä. Hylky on noin 81 metriä pitkä ja 68 metrin syvyydellä.
HMS Nasturtium avattiin sukeltajille 1. toukokuuta 2019 – kohde on Heritage Maltan hallinnoima ja hylyn sukeltaminen vaatii erityisluvan. Lue lisää Maltan historiallisten hylkyjen sukeltamisesta.
HMS Nasturtiumin lähellä on kaksi muuta ensimmäisen maailmansodan aikaista hylkyä: HMY Aegusa (syvyys 76 m) ja HMS Russell (115 m) upposivat samaan miinakenttään samana päivänä kuin Nasturtium.
Muita ensimmäisen maailmansodan hylkyjä Maltalla ovat SS Polynesien (syvyys 65 m) ja SS Luciston (105 m).
