This is a chronological list of the battles involving France in modern history.

These lists do not include the battles of the French civil wars (as the Wars of Religion, the Fronde, the War in the Vendée) unless a foreign country is involved; this list includes neither the peacekeeping operations (such as Operation Artemis, Opération Licorne) nor the humanitarian missions supported by the French Armed Forces.

  French military victory - 558
  French military defeat - 263
  Indecisive or unclear outcome - 49
