The Commerce de Paris class was a ship of the line class of the French Navy, designed in 1804 by Jacques-Noël Sané as a shortened version of his 118-gun Océan Class three-deckers, by removing a pair of guns from each deck. Two ships were built to this design in France; four more were begun at Antwerp in 1810-11, but these were never completed.
