The List of shipwrecks in 1751 includes some ships sunk, wrecked or otherwise lost during 1751.

Until 1752, the year began on Lady Day (25 March) Thus 24 March 1750 was followed by 25 March 1751. 1751 was a special case, only having 282 days, per the Calendar (New Style) Act 1750, meaning that 31 December 1751 was followed by 1 January 1752.
