HMS Hazard was an 18-gun Favorite-class sloop of the Royal Navy. She was launched in 1837 from Portsmouth Dockyard.
Hazard operated in Russell in New Zealand during the Flagstaff War between 11 March 1845 and 11 January 1846. She served as part of a naval contingent used to maintain peace in the Pacific during the 19th century.[citation needed] She was reduced to 14 guns in 1848, and was eventually broken up at the yards of J. Samuel White, Cowes by 12 February 1866.
