The "Argonaute" was a 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.

Under Villaret de Joyeuse, she took part in the expedition to Saint Domingue.

She took part in the Battle of Trafalgar and managed to return to Cádiz. Unable to leave the harbour because of the British blockage and damage, she was exchanged for the Spanish ship "Vencedor".

She was renamed "Argonauta" but never recommissioned.
