HMS Trompeuse was the French privateer brig Coureur that the British Royal Navy captured in 1800.

She then underwent fitting in July to August 1803, Commander Matthew Godwin having commissioned her as HMS Trompeuse on 23 June 1803, for the Irish Station.

In February 1804, in boisterous seas, Trompeuse assisted the British ship Commerce after she lost her rudder and, with difficulty, brought her into Cove of Cork.

[9] Factor, of New York, Johnstone, master, had been sailing from Tenerife when a privateer captured her the day before between Beachy Head and Dungeness.

That night boats from Trompeuse and Badger captured two schuyts, each armed with mounting two 6-pounder guns and two howitzers, and having 13-man crews.

Despite heavy small arms fire from the beach and gunfire from shore batteries, the cutting-out party succeeded in bringing them out; the third schuyt was driven on the rocks.

The "Principal Officers and Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy" offered the "Trompeuse Sloop, of 380 tons", lying at Sheerness, for sale on 12 November 1810.
