Vingança was a cutter launched in 1800 that the Portuguese Navy purchased in Lisbon. As a coast guard vessel, in 1801 she captured a French privateer. In 1804 the navy converted her to an 18-gun brig. In 1806 she captured a Tripolitanian polacca in the Straits of Gibraltar. In 1808–1809, together with Voador, she was one of the vessels in the small Anglo-Portuguese squadron under Captain James Lucas Yeo in HMS Confiance that captured French Guiana. In 1814 Vingança was broken up in Rio de Janeiro.
