Hussar was an American privateer active during the War of 1812.

Hussar was launched in 1812 and made several cruises, first two as a letter of marque, and two as a privateer, but apparently without success.

Hussar was armed with one 12-pounder gun and nine 12-pounder carronades, eight of which she threw overboard during the chase.

Nash described her as "coppered, copper-fastened, and sails remarkably fast".

[2][a] Hussar was condemned at the Vice admiralty court, Halifax, Nova Scotia.
