HMS Liverpool was a Royal Navy Endymion-class frigate, reclassified as a fourth rate. She was built by Wigram, Wells and Green and launched at Woolwich on 21 February 1814. She was built of pitch-pine, which made for speedy construction at the expense of durability.

Her major service was on the East Indies Station from where in 1819 she led the successful attack on the pirates based in Ras al-Khaimah. She was sold in 1822 but continued to operate in the Persian Gulf for an indefinite period thereafter.
