"Arbuthnot" was a British armed schooner or privateer brig named after Admiral Mariot Arbuthnot. The ship became the prize of the American ships "Argo" and "Fair American" in April 1780, during the American Revolutionary War.

There was another HMS "Arbuthnot" of that era which was a galley vessel belonging to the Royal Navy. She may have been a rebel-owned vessel which was captured as a prize and renamed. Her crew burned down the all wooden city of Sunbury, Georgia during the British evacuation at the end of the war.Fact|date=September 2008
