The Astrée was an Aurore class submarine of the French navy.

Still incomplete, she was captured by the Germans in June 1940. She was renamed UF-3 on 13 May 1941, but never completed during the German occupation of France.

She was recaptured and completed under her original name. The Astrée was taken out of service in 1962, and stricken on 27 November 1965 as the Q404.
