Amiral Cécille was a protected cruiser of the French Navy, named in honour of Jean-Baptiste Cécille.
She replaced Dubourdieu in the station of the Caribbean. In late January 1900 she left Fort-de-France, Martinique, for the West Coast of Africa.
From 1907, she was used as a school ship for mechanics in Toulon.
