^{RFA Pearleaf (A77) was a Leaf-class support tanker of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary of the United Kingdom. She was the second ship to bear the name.}

^{Pearleaf and her sister ship Plumleaf (A78) were originally built by Blythswood Shipbuilding Co. Ltd, in Scotstoun, Glasgow, for and owned by Jacobs & Partners Ltd, London. They were both taken over on completion by the Ministry of Defence, on a 20-year bareboat charter.[1]}

^{Chartered in 1960, she served until 1986 and saw service during the Falklands War.[2]}

^{Pearleaf was returned to owners, and then sold to Petrostar Co. Ltd of Saudi Arabia. Renamed Nejmat el Petrol XIX, she served as a static fuel storage facility.[1]}

^{In 1993 she was sold to shipbreakers Nasir Trading Co. at Gadani Beach, Pakistan, where demolition commenced on 8 March 1993.[1]}
