Five ships of the French Navy have carried the name Africaine:

  • Africaine, a felucca (1664)
  • Africaine, a Preneuse class frigate (1798–1816)
  • Africaine, a 44-gun barque wrecked in 1822
  • Africaine (1839–1872), a 40-gun frigate
  • Africaine (Q196), an Aurore class submarine, constructed started before the war but was not completed until after, scrapped in 1963
  • In addition

  • Africaine, although not a naval vessel, was a French 20-gun corvette whose seizure on 4 May 1804 at Charleston by a British privateer led to a lawsuit that defined the extent of territorial waters as one league from the low tide of the shore, not including shoals that are always underwater.
