Iphigénie was a 32-gun Iphigénie-class frigate of the French Navy, and the lead ship of her class.
In April 1778, she captured the 18-gun sloop HMS Ceres off Saint Lucia. She captured HMS Lively during the same year.[1] One year later she took part in the Battle of Grenada.
On 14 February 1795, she was captured in the Gulf of Roses by a Spanish fleet under Admiral Juan de Lángara and brought into Spanish service as Ifigenia.
