HMS Kangaroo (1795)

HMS Kangaroo was an 18-gun brig-sloop of the Diligence class in the Royal Navy, built in 1795 at Rotherhithe, England. In October 1795 she was commissioned under Commander Courtenay Boyle. On 16 October 1798 HMS Kangaroo, in company with the rasée frigate (ex ship-of-the-line) Anson, engaged and captured the French 18-pounder frigate Loire off Blacksod Bay, Ireland.

Because Kangaroo served in the navy's Egyptian campaign (8 March to 8 September 1801), her officers and crew qualified for the clasp "Egypt" to the Naval General Service Medal, which the Admiralty issued in 1847 to all surviving claimants.

She was sold in February 1802.
