The action of 15 January 1782 was a minor naval engagement that occurred near the island of Jamaica during the American Revolutionary War.

A Royal Naval frigate, HMS Fox, intercepted and engaged two Spanish merchantmen of the Guipuzcoan Company of Caracas, one of 26 guns and the other of 20.

While on a cruise near Jamaica, he saw two sail and then went to intercept; they were two small Spanish frigates and thus Windsor showed his colours.

[1] The Spanish armed merchantmen, 26-gun Socorro Guipuzcoano and 20-gun Dama Vizcaína, tried to escape, but Fox overhauled them both.

[6] Liverpool investors purchased one of the two prizes, named her Nancy, and sailed her to England.
