HMS Diamond was a 46-gun Leda-class frigate of the Royal Navy. Launched in 1816 after the end of the Napoleonic Wars, she was initially placed in ordinary before being fitted for service in 1824. Sent to serve on the South America Station, she conveyed the diplomat James Justinian Morier to Mexico on her way out. Diamond subsequently served in South America conveying the diplomat Sir Charles Stuart. While returning to Britain with Stuart in 1826, the ship recovered and repaired the wreck of the merchant ship Frances Mary. Out of service, on 18 February 1827 Diamond was destroyed in an accidental fire at Portsmouth and then broken up.
