Fanny was a merchant ship built on the River Thames, England in 1810. She was a West Indiaman but made one voyage transporting convicts from England to Australia. On her return she reverted to trading with the West Indies. She apparently burnt in 1817, but may have been salvaged. She was last listed in 1822.
Fanny appears in Lloyd's Register in 1810 with Blackburn, master, Chalmers, owner, and trade London–Martinique.[2]
Under the command of John Wallis and surgeon William McDonald, she departed the Downs on 25 August 1815 and arrived in Sydney on 18 January 1816.[3] She had embarked 174 male convicts and there were three convict deaths en route.[4]

Fanny sailed from Port Jackson on 2 March 1816, bound for Batavia.[5] She must have returned because she sailed from Port Jackson for the last time on 30 March 1817, bound for Batavia.[6]
Neither Lloyd's Register nor the Register of Shipping published in 1817. Fanny reappeared in the 1818 volume of the Register of Shipping with Campbell, master, Chalmers, owner, and trade London–Jamaica.[7] She was not in the 1818 or subsequent volumes of Lloyd's Register.
