Sir Francis N. Burton was launched in 1825 at Quebec. She was wrecked on 5 December 1826 on a voyage for the British East India Company (EIC).

In 1813 the EIC had lost its monopoly on the trade between India and Britain. British ships were then free to sail to India or the Indian Ocean under a license from the EIC. "Sir F.N.Burton", J. Martin, master, sailed from England on 1 August 1826 bound for Bengal.
Fate: Sir Francis N. Burton, Martin, master, was wrecked in the Keeling Islands with the loss of three lives. She was on a voyage from the Cape of Good Hope to Bengal. LL reported on 8 October 1827 that Adrian had rescued the master.
