This is an alphabetical list of the names of all ships that have been in service with the French Navy. Names are traditionally re-used over the years, and have been carried by more than one ship. List of ships
This category is for pages about names used by more than one ship of the French Navy.Only shipindex pages should be included in this category. Individual ships (including those that are the only one to bear the name) should instead be categorised in Category:Ships of the French Navy, or the relevant subcategory for the type of vessel.
The French Navy does not use the term "destroyer". While officially classed as "frigates", the larger major surface combatants of the first rank are nevertheless registered as destroyers (with hull numbers "Dxxx"; though, as of 2023, French Navy vessels are incrementally having hull numbers removed from display on all ships).

This is a list of French ships of the line of the period 1621–1870 (plus some from the period before 1621). Battlefleet units in the French Navy (Marine Royale before the French Revolution established a republic) were categorised as vaisseaux (literally "vessels") as distinguished from lesser warships such as frigates (frégates).
As of 2023, all French warships are having their hull numbers removed in order to reduce the ability to identify individual ships.
