HMS Mohawk was a snow constructed on the Great Lakes in North America that participated in the Battle of the Thousand Islands during the French and Indian War.

Fryer states that she was one of two vessels that the French commander, Captain Pierre Pouchot, had started to build at Fort Niagara before its capture by the British on 25 July 1759.

[1] Malcomson states that the British commander, General Sir Jeffrey Amherst ordered the construction of two snows, Mohawk and Onondoga (originally named Apollo), to combat the French corvettes Iroquoise and Outaouaise for control of the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario.

[3] Mohawk remained idle until June 1760 when Amherst sent an army to Oswego and the British naval commander on the Great Lakes, Captain Joshua Loring, arrived with a detachment of sailors.

On 14 July, Loring arrived at Oswego with Onondoga and the army departed in their bateaux, row galleys, and whaleboats downriver for the assault on Fort Lévis.
