HMS Solebay was a 24-gun frigate of the Royal Navy. Commissioned in 1742 for the War of Jenkins' Ear, she served off Gibraltar and in the Mediterranean Sea until she was captured by a French squadron off Cape St Vincent two years later. Commissioned into the French Navy under the same name, Solebay served off the coast of France until she was recaptured by a British privateer in 1746. Decommissioned when the war ended in 1748, the ship was put back into service for the Seven Years' War.
