Lalla Rookh was a 380-ton sailing vessel, possibly a brig and most likely built in 1823. She traded in North and South America, and transported a steam engine to New South Wales and a detachment of troops to Brisbane in 1825. She later traded and carried passengers between the East Indies, India and Britain. She was under the command of Captain Green until November 1827, when she came under the command of Captain McCallum, and was wrecked at Pondicherry on 6 March 1828.
