HMS Alligator was a 28-gun Шаблон:Sclass sixth rate of the Royal Navy. She was launched at Cochin, British India on 29 March 1821.

Alligator, under the command of Captain G.R. Lambert,[1] operated in New Zealand during 1834, leaving on 31 March 1834, but returned again in September the same year to rescue the crew and passengers of Harriet, which was wrecked near Cape Egmont, Taranaki and were held by the Ngāti Ruanui.[2]
