The Charlotte was a sloop sunk in 1808 off the coast of New South Wales, Australia.

The Charlotte was built in Sydney and registered at 16 tons on 19 December 1803. Owned and skippered by Robert Inch and assisted by his hand, George Conway, the ship was five miles North of Port Jackson, heading for the Hawkesbury River with a cargo of grain when it was hit by a squall and sunk after its mainsail jibed.
