HMS Enterprise (sometimes spelled Enterprize) was a 24-gun sixth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy. Originally a French frigate called Entreprise, she was captured by HMS Tryton in May 1705.
After her capture by the British, the ship was re-christened HMS Enterprise and served in the Mediterranean Sea under the command of Captain J. Paul, until Captain W. Davenport took over command on 19 May 1707, and she saw action off Leghorn (Livorno). She was wrecked on 2 October 1707 in the Mediterranean.
