"The Dark Frigate" is a children's historical novel written by Charles Hawes. It won the 1924 Newbery Medal.

The book opens in 17th century London where Philip Marsham lives as an orphan. An accident with a gun causes him to flee for his life. Having spent most of his life on board ships, he returns to the sea. The ship founders in a storm, and is seized by pirates, who force Philip to join them. He agrees to help them operate their ship, but not to engage in the bloodshed for which they are infamous.
