HMS Mary Galley was a 14-gun sloop-of-war of the Royal Navy, launched in 1744. She was built at Rotherhithe and served during the War of the Austrian Succession. Her primary role was likely convoy escort and anti-privateering duties, common for vessels of her size and type during this period. Details regarding her specific deployments and engagements are limited, but naval records indicate she was active in the English Channel and potentially further afield, protecting British merchant shipping from enemy vessels. The Mary Galley was eventually sold out of service, with records suggesting this occurred sometime in the 1750s. The exact date and circumstances of her disposal require further archival research.
