HMS Delight was a British Royal Navy 16-gun brig-sloop of the Seagull class launched in June 1806, six months late.

On 6 April 1807 Delight brought to Vice Admiral Lord Collingwood at Cadiz the news of the capitulation of Alexandria to British forces on 28 March.

[3] Delight was with a British squadron at Palermo in January 1808 when news arrived that the French had captured four Sicilian gunboats and taken them to Reggio di Calabria.

Delight and HMS Glatton sailed to attempt to recapture the boats, and more importantly their guns, to prevent the French from using them against the British forces at Scylla (Scilla, Calabria).
