The Heureux was a Centaure class 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.

Was captured in Toulon by the British in August 1793 but was retaken by the French on December in the same year. She cruised in the Mediterranean in 1794 and 1795.

Under Captain Jean-Pierre Etienne, she took part in the Expedition to Egypt, and in the Battle of the Nile. The first ship to spot the British fleet on 1 August, Heureux fought the next day and was forced to strike her colours. Too badly damaged for repairs, she was burnt on 29 August 1798.[1]
