A number of vessels of the French Navy have borne the name Iris.

Note: Between 1781 and 1784, the French Navy had two frigates named Iris:

  • Iris, a 34-gun frigate captured from the British in 1781, who had themselves captured her from American rebels. She was sold in 1784.
  • Iris was launched at Toulon in 1781. The British captured her at Toulon on 28 August 1793, and burned her on their evacuation of the city in December.

    • Other French ships named Iris:

  • Iris (1806), a 20-gun corvette.
  • Iris (1934), a Minerve-class submarine
