Jesus of Lübeck was a carrack built in the Free City of Lübeck in the early 16th century.
Around 1540 the ship, which had mostly been used for representative purposes, was acquired by Henry VIII, King of England, to augment his fleet.
The ship saw action during the French invasion of the Isle of Wight in 1545. She, along with Samson, was used in an unsuccessful attempt to raise Henry VIII's flagship, Mary Rose, after she foundered during the Battle of the Solent.
