HMS Seahorse was a 44-gun {{sclass-|Seringapatam|frigate|0}} fifth-rate frigate built for the Royal Navy during the 1820s, one of three ships of the Andromeda sub-class. After completion in 1830, she was ordered to be converted into a steam-powered ship in 1845, but this did not happen for another decade.

The Andromeda sub-class was a slightly enlarged and improved version of the Druid sub-class, with a more powerful armament.^[1] Seahorse had a length at the gundeck of {{convert|159|ft|10|in|m|1}} and {{convert|133|ft|4|in|m|1}} at the keel. She had a beam of {{convert|41|ft|10|in|m|1}}, a draught of {{convert|14|ft|10|in|m|1}} and a depth of hold of {{convert|13|ft|3|in|m|1}}. The ship's tonnage was 1211 {{fraction|53|94}} tons burthen.^[2] The Andromeda sub-class was armed with twenty-six 18-pounder cannon on her gundeck, ten 32-pounder carronades and a pair of 68-pounder guns on her quarterdeck and four more 32-pounder carronades in the forecastle. The ships had a crew of 315 officers and ratings.^[3]
