Hebe was a ship built at Bristol in 1791. She traded with the West Indies until a French privateer captured her in 1801.

Captain William Grumly received a letter of marque on 8 January 1794.^[2]

In 1796, her master was Richard Honneywill, and in 1797, Thomas Hatcher. Neither appears to have sailed under a letter of marque.^[1]

Captain Levers Alleyne (or Alleyne), received a letter of marque on 6 September 1799.^[2] He returned from Jamaica in 1800.^[1]

Lloyd's List reported on 20 January 1801 that a French privateer had captured Hebe, Smith, master, from Bristol to Jamaica, and taken her into Guadeloupe.^[3]
