Several vessels have been named Harriet, or Harriot:

• Harriet (1802 EIC ship) was a two-decker East Indiaman. She made five complete voyages for the British East India Company (EIC), as an "extra ship" i.e., under charter, and accidentally burnt as she was preparing to return to England from her sixth voyage.
