French ship Soleil-Royal
Three French ships of the line of the Ancien Régime have borne the name Soleil Royal ("Royal Sun"), honouring the personal emblem of Louis XIV:
- French ship Soleil Royal (1670), present at the Battle of Barfleur
- French ship Soleil-Royal (1692)
- French ship Soleil-Royal (1749)
Furthermore, French ship Foudroyant (1693) was briefly named Soleil Royal before taking her final name.
