Arbuthnot was a British armed galley vessel belonging to the Royal Navy. She may have been a rebel-owned vessel which was captured as a prize and renamed. She was commanded by Captain Scallon when her crew burned down large portions of the wooden city of Sunbury, Georgia during the British evacuation in April 1782. The British National Archives holds ships paybooks and muster lists for the galley Arbuthnot dating from 1780 to 1786.
