The "Danaé" was a 44-gun frigate of the French Navy.
On 12 March 1881, she was part of Bernard Dubourdieu's squadron sailing to raid the British commerce raider base of the island of Lissa. The squadron encountered William Hoste's frigate squadron, leading to the Battle of Lissa.
"Danaé" was damaged by HMS "Volage" and had to retreat to Lesina for repairs.
