The H[onourable] C[ompany's] S[hip] Intrepid was launched in 1780 by the Bombay Dockyard. She was a snow belonging to the British East India Company's naval arm, the Bombay Marine. She participated in the seizure of Malacca on 17 August 1795 and in an inconclusive single-ship action with a French privateer off Muscat on 22 November 1800. She foundered without a trace in late 1800 or early 1801.
