The Mulhouse was an armoured cruiser of the French Navy. She was laid down by the Germans as Stralsund, acquired by France in 1920, and commissioned as Mulhouse.
She was the first class of ship whose armour was built directly with the hull, rather than bolted to it.
She was the flagship of the 2nd squadron of Brest.
