The Russian warship Nadezhda (Russian: Надежда, "hope") was a three-masted sloop-of-war frigate, commonly called "frigate Nadezhda" in Russia.

It was built in London in the spring of 1800 as a 425-ton sloop named HMS Leander, and sold to Russia. It and the sloop-of-war Neva left England for the Baltic in May 1803, docking at Kronstadt on 5 June."[1] It was renamed to Nadezhda and took part in the first Russian circumnavigation of the world with the Neva under Krusenstern[2] It had a 58-member crew and 16 guns.[3]

It was owned by Russian-American Company (RACo). As part of its circumnavigation, it delivered RACo cargo to Kamchatka and the first Russian embassy under Nikolai Rezanov to Japan. [3]

In 1808 Nadezhda was chartered by an American merchant D. Martin to transport RACo cargoes from Kronstadt to New York. During the trip, in December it became ice-locked near Denmark and perished.[3]

The frigate name was the namesake of a gulf and Nadezhda Strait in the Okhotsk Sea, four capes in the Japan Sea and the Tatar Strait, and the Nadezhda Island (Sitka County, Alaska) in the Pacific Ocean.[3]
