Discovery was a 70-ton "fly-boat" of the English East India Company, launched before 1602. She took part in six expeditions in search of the Northwest Passage.

Discovery was the smallest of three ships led by Captain Christopher Newport on the voyage which resulted in the founding of Jamestown in the new Colony of Virginia in 1607. When Captain Newprt returned to London, he left the Discovery behind for use of the colonists.

Replicas of the Discovery as well as the larger Susan Constant and Godspeed are docked in the James River at Jamestown Festival Park.
