Sante Elisabeth was a 32-gun frigate of the Navy of the Order of Saint John of Malta. Built in Valletta in 1782 and launched the following year, she served with the Maltese Navy until France captured Malta in 1798. Recommissioned by France as Carthaginoise under Captain Jean-Marie Letellier, she remained blockaded in harbour during the Siege of Malta. Britain captured her in 1800 and broke her up after finding her stripped for firewood.
