The Iéna was a Commerce de Paris class 110-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.

She was laid down on 6 March 1805 as Victorieux ("Victor").

During her construction, she was renamed Iéna in January 1807, and Duc d'Angoulême in July 1814 with the Bourbon Restoration. She was launched on 30 August 1814. The next year, during the Hundred Days, she briefly took back the name of Iéna in March, and was renamed Duc d'Angoulême again in July. On 9 August 1830, following the July Revolution, she again took the name of Iéna.

In 1854, she took part in the Crimean War. On 14 November, she was driven ashore in the Dardanelles. Iéna was converted to a troopship in 1855.

She was struck on 31 December 1864, and served as a hulk in Toulon until 1915.
