HMS Cholmondely was a 4-gun single-masted cutter of the Royal Navy, purchased in the last days of the Seven Years' War with France. She was stationed off the Port of Liverpool for eight years from 1763, and was briefly under the command of Lieutenant (and future Admiral) Skeffington Lutwidge.

Cholmondely was sold back into private hands in 1771.
