The Fly was a brig of 100 tons that sailed from Calcutta, India on 14 May 1802 bound for Sydney, Australia.

It was carrying a cargo of 4000 gallons of spirits and was commanded by John Black. It was never heard of again.[1] At the time of its disappearance it was owned by the House of Campbells, Calcutta.[2]
