HMS Alpheus was a 36-gun Scamander-class frigate of the Royal Navy. Commissioned in May 1814, the ship was sent to serve on the East Indies Station. She served mostly uneventfully at Macao and Manila; in the latter location the ship's captain was discovered by the Spanish to be using his barge to smuggle dollars. In December 1815 the ship was deemed to be in such bad condition with rot that she was sent home, described by William Henry Dillon, captain of an accompanying vessel, as "in a very crazy state". Having received a refit at Bombay, Alpheus returned to England in December 1816 and saw no further service. The frigate was paid off and then sold at Sheerness in the following year.
