Agincourt was launched at Monmouth in 1825, registered at Bristol, and became a West Indiaman sailing to Nevis. She was lost on 29 January 1829.

Agincourt first appeared in Lloyd's Register in 1826 with C. Claxton, master, Pinneys, owner, and trade Bristol–Nevis.[2] Lloyd's Register for 1829 showed Agincourt's master changing from William Scarth to Joseph Essex Harris.

Agincourt was on her way to Nevis when she ran on a reef at Antigua on 29 January 1829. Her cargo was lost but her crew was saved.[3]
