HMS Quail was a Royal Navy Cuckoo-class schooner of four 12-pounder carronades and a crew of 20. Custance & Stone built her at Great Yarmouth and launched her in 1806. Her decade-long career appears to have been relatively uneventful. She was sold in 1816 into mercantile service, possibly to serve as a whaler, though she ended up trading in the South Atlantic until late in 1819. She was last listed in 1826.
