Princess Amelia was a ship that was launched in France or the Netherlands in 1789, almost certainly under another name. She was taken in prize in 1801. She made one unsuccessful voyage as a sealer in the British southern whale fishery. Thereafter she became a West Indiaman. She was reportedly broken up in 1807.
