Hebe was a ship built at Bristol in 1791. She traded with the West Indies until a French privateer captured her in 1801.

Captain William Grumly received a letter of marque on 8 January 1794.[2]

In 1796, her master was Richard Honneywill, and in 1797, Thomas Hatcher. Neither appears to have sailed under a letter of marque.[1]

Captain Levers Alleyne (or Alleyne), received a letter of marque on 6 September 1799.[2] He returned from Jamaica in 1800.[1]

Captain John Smith received a letter of marque on 3 July 1800.[2] He then sailed for Jamaica in September.[1]

Lloyd's List reported on 20 January 1801 that a French privateer had captured Hebe, Smith, master, from Bristol to Jamaica, and taken her into Guadeloupe.[3]
