Several vessels have been named '''''Westmoreland''''':

* was launched in Yarmouth. Between 1800 and 1804 she made two voyages as a [[slave ship]]. A French privateer captured her during her second voyage but the [[Royal Navy]] recaptured her and she completed her voyage. The registers continued to carry her for a few years but with stale data; she actually made a voyage in 1805 to Demerara. On her way a privateer captured her.
* was a ship launched at Whithaven as a [[West Indiaman]]. She was lost on 5 December 1822.
* was launched at Hull. She sailed to India under a license from the British [[East India Company]] (EIC). Next, she sailed to Australia with passengers. From Sydney she visited New Zealand, Tahiti, and Valparaiso, before returning to England. She then traded widely, to Russia, North America, West Africa, and India again. She was condemned at Saint Helena on 29 October 1845 as she was returning from the coast of Africa.
* was built at Lynn. She made three voyages [[transportation (punishment)|transporting]] [[convicts]] to [[New South Wales]]. She was last listed in 1847.
