The Saint-Esprit ("Holy Ghost") was an 80-gun ship of the line of the French Navy, lead ship of her class.[1] She was funded by a don des vaisseaux donation from the Order of the Holy Spirit, and named in its honour.

She took part in the Battle of Ushant under La Motte-Picquet, and to the Armada of 1779.[1]

As a young man, Swedish naval officer Johan Herman Schützercrantz served onboard the Saint–Esprit; he would later become a rear admiral in Swedish service.[3]
