HMS Tartar was a fifth-rate 32-gun frigate of the Royal Navy. She was built at Frindsbury and launched in 1801. She served on the Jamaica station and in the Baltic during the Gunboat War, fighting at Anholt and Alvøen (at the latter of which her captain, George Edmund Byron Bettesworth, was killed). She was wrecked on 18 August 1811 when she hit a sandbank in the Baltic Sea - all her crew were saved, being re-assigned to other ships on the Baltic station.
