HMS Blanche was a 36-gun fifth-rate Apollo-class frigate of the Royal Navy. She was commissioned in 1800 by Captain Graham Hamond, under whom on 2 April 1801 Blanche fought as part of the frigate reserve at the Battle of Copenhagen. She spent the remainder of the French Revolutionary Wars serving in the English Channel. When the Napoleonic Wars began in 1803 Blanche was sent to serve in the West Indies under the command of Captain Zachary Mudge. There the frigate participated in the Blockade of Saint-Domingue and an unsuccessful invasion of Curacao, capturing upwards of twenty-four vessels.
