HMS Quail was a Cruizer-class brig-sloop of the Royal Navy, launched in 1817. The ship had a crew of 121 men and was armed with sixteen 32-pounder carronades and two long 9-pounder guns. Throughout its service, HMS Quail participated in various operations, including anti-piracy missions in the West Indies and the suppression of the transatlantic slave trade. In 1835, the ship was converted into a survey vessel and assigned to the North America and West Indies Station. HMS Quail undertook survey work off the coasts of North and South America, producing valuable charts and navigational information for the Royal Navy. The ship's career was relatively uneventful, with no major battles or incidents recorded. In 1840, HMS Quail was decommissioned and sold off.
