HMS Woodlark was a gun-brig in the Royal Navy, commissioned c. February 1805 under Lieutenant Thomas Innes and wrecked 13 November 1805.

Woodlark sailed from Lowestoft on 13 November 1805 bound for Plymouth and grounded that evening.

The pilot believed that she was on the Goodwin Sands, so Innes fired guns to call for assistance.

The subsequent court-martial, held after the crew's release in 1814, found that Innes had carried too much sail and it admonished him to be more careful in the future.

As he had been a prisoner of war for nine years, the court-martial board dealt leniently with him, simply admonishing him to be more careful in the future.
