The Tourville was a Téméraire class 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.
In August 1793, she was damaged by a tempest, which also killed her captain, and had to return to Brest. In September, a mutiny broke out aboard.
She took part in the Bataille du 13 prairial an 2, to the Expédition d'Irlande, and to the Cruise of Bruix.
She was eventually broken up in Brest in 1841.
