Marquis of Anglesea was a British ship, launched in 1815 at Sunderland. She initially traded with India under a license from the British East India Company (EIC). She then traded with the Americas. In 1829, she carried 104 settlers and troops to the Swan River Colony. She was wrecked there on 4 September 1829, a few days after she had landed the settlers and her cargo. Her hulk served the Colony's government for some three years before a storm finally destroyed her.
