HMS Andromache (1832) was a Royal Navy sixth-rate frigate of the Andromache class, later reclassified as a corvette. Built at Pembroke Dockyard, she was laid down in August 1831, launched on 27 August 1832, and commissioned on 19 September 1833. She carried 28 guns in total.

Andromache served on the North America and West Indies Station and was based in Bermuda in 1838. In 1834 she carried William Napier to China and took part in the war with China at Canton. She later became a provisioning hulk at Plymouth in 1846, then a powder depot in 1854, and was finally broken up at Plymouth in March 1875. The ship cost £14,845 plus £7,759 for fitting.
