The Roi de Rome ("King of Rome") was a first-rate 118-gun ship of the line of the French Navy, of the Océan type, designed by Jacques-Noël Sané.
Ordered as Sans Pareil, she was renamed successively Roi de Rome, Inflexible and back to Roi de Rome in 1812 alone.
She remained in an unfinished state until 1816, when her wood was found to have rotten, and she was broken up. The sound timbers were used for the refitting of Wagram.
A model of a two-decker named Roi de Rome is on display at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris, but seems to bear to connection to this ship.
