Achille was a 74-gun Téméraire-class ship of the line built for the French Navy in the first decade of the 19th century. Completed in 1805, she played a minor role in the Napoleonic Wars. The ship participated in the Battle of Cape Finisterre that same year and was destroyed during the subsequent Battle of Trafalgar when her magazine exploded.
