The Créole was a 40-gun frigate of the French Navy, a one-off design by Jacques-Augustin Lamothe. She served in the Brest squadron, took part in Ganteaume's expeditions of 1801 to Egypt, and was involved in the French occupation of Santo Domingo and briefly detained Toussaint Louverture before he was brought to France. She was captured off Santo Domingo by the 74-guns HMS Vanguard and Cumberland on 30 June 1803 and brought into Royal Navy service. However, she was wrecked soon afterwards during an attempt to cross to Britain, and her crew rescued.
