HMS Queen Charlotte was a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 17 July 1810 at Deptford. She replaced the first {{HMS|Queen Charlotte|1790|2}} sunk in 1800. Anti-slave trade activityShe was sent Sierra Leone to join the West Africa Squadron set up for the suppression of the slave trade. Following her seizure of the French ship {{ship||Le Louis}}, a ship engaged in the slave trade, the Vice Admiralty Court declared the French ship and its cargo forfeit. However when this was taken to appeal at the High Court of Admiralty, the judge William Scott overturned the judgement, saying that the way Le Louis had been stopped and boarded was illegal as "No nation can exercise a right of visitation and search on the common and unappropriated parts of the sea, save only on the belligerent claim." He accepted that this would constitute a serious impediment to the suppression of the slave trade, but argued that this should be remedied through international treaties rather than Naval officers exceeding what they were permitted to do.[3]{{rp|3–4}} She was Lord Exmouth's flagship during the Bombardment of Algiers in 1816. On 17 September 1817, Linnet, a tender to Queen Charlotte, seized a smuggled cargo of tobacco.
