The Banterer-class sailing sixth rates were a series of six 22-gun post ships built to an 1805 design by Sir William Rule, which served in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic War. The first four were launched in 1806 and the remaining two in 1807. One ship - the Banterer - was lost in 1808 and another - the Cyane - captured by the United States Navy in 1815; the remaining four were all deleted during 1816.
