HMS Culloden was a 2-gun smack of the Royal Navy, launched in 1746 or 1749.

Constructed by master shipwright Benjamin Slade at Plymouth Dockyard, Culloden was used as a storeship until 1751. Thereafter she was contracted to Murdoch Mackenzie, a civilian surveyor, for work in Plymouth harbour. After 16 years service she was put up for auction at Plymouth Dockyard on 10 December 1765, along with her contents described as a sundry collection of papers, cables, rigging, hammocks and other "old junk." The sale was completed on 16 December 1765.
